Naseem Shah is far better than Jasprit Bumrah: Ihsanullah makes shocking statement

Pakistan National Cricket Team pacer Ihsanullah has made a massive statement. The fast bowler rated his teammate Naseem Shah far better than India National Cricket Team fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, saying that it doesn't matter if the latter is performing, the young speedster is superior.

India National Cricket Team pacer Jasprit Bumrah arguably is the best fast bowler that the team has produced. It's fair to say that with the kind of impact he has made, he is currently the best bowler going around in the world of cricket across all three formats of the game.

Jasprit Bumrah's impact on the game has been massive

Jasprit Bumrah's impact on the game has been massive. He has contributed equally well to the team in all three formats of the game, and it is because of him that Indian bowling seems to be even stronger than batting these days, which is a rare thing in Indian cricket.

One of the major reasons why India has started winning Test overseas is because they take 20 wickets. And the contribution of Jasprit Bumrah in that has been massive. In the white ball, too, his presence has been huge as he has helped the team win games from the jaws of defeat.

Bumrah has thrived at the big stage as well and this was quite evident in the last few ICC events. He picked up 20 wickets in the ODI World Cup 2023 and, after that, brought his best with the ball in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. He was the MVP of the team in the tournament and ended up winning the Player of the Tournament award because of his heroics.

Bumrah picked 15 wickets at an average of 8.26 and helped his team end the title drought and win the first-ever ICC title after 2013. He helped the India National Cricket Team win the games from even losing positions, which was the standout feature of his bowling.

Naseem Shah, in his short career so far, has been terrific

On the other hand, Naseem Shah is another talented player who has come from the factory of fast bowling in Pakistan. The nation has produced some of the best pacers in the world, and the young fast bowler is also on the journey to the same.

Naseem Shah, in his short career so far, has been terrific. The fast bowler has done some incredible things for the team. His pace as well as the ability to swing the new ball has been the standout feature of his career as he has helped the team win games in all three formats.

Naseem Shah is better than him - Ihsanullah on Jasprit Bumrah

While both Bumrah and Naseem have been doing good things for the team, Pakistan pacer Ihsanullah delivered a massive statement. He said that his teammate is better than the India speedster even though he has performed well. Speaking in a podcast, he explained:

"If I compare Bumrah, then Naseem Shah is a better bowler than Bumrah."

When the host mentioned that Bumrah has delivered better performances than Naseem, the pacer responded, "No, you are seeing that. Naseem Shah was also performing like this in the 2021 (2022) World Cup. It doesn't matter if someone doesn't perform too well in a year. Still, Naseem Shah is better than him."
