Former cricketer Laxman was questioned if Bumrah’s experience will make him an even better speedster in his second South Africa tour to which he replied by saying that the 28-year-old pacer will leave a big impact on the series. During a discussion on the Star Sports show Game Plan, Laxman asserted:
“Jasprit Bumrah will create an impact and the beauty of Jasprit Bumrah, we saw in the last Test match at the Oval, even on a placid wicket he was the difference between India putting pressure on the English batters and I thought the way he bowled with the oldish Dukes ball was exemplary.”
Laxman added that Bumrah has become one of the best bowlers in world cricket and he will be a go-to bowler of skipper Kohli in the Test series. Laxman stated:
“So I just feel that Jasprit Bumrah has become one of the best bowlers in world cricket. For me in all formats, he is the No.1 bowler but in Test match cricket, he knows how to pick up wickets. He will be the go-to bowler for Virat Kohli in different situations and different phases of the Test match.”

Former Indian batting coach Bangar has said that Bumrah getting a long break before the South Africa tour will benefit him in the series. He also mentioned that Bumrah has got the ability to alter his length which will favour him a lot. He elaborated:
“Jasprit Bumrah being fresh will go a lot in his favor. The biggest advantage the Indian team can get from him is his length and the way he has adjusted with his length.”
“If you remember the World Test Championship final, his length was back and he did not find success in taking wickets. But the way he came back and bowled in the England series, brought the length up, he has got the ability to alter the length now. It will go in his favour that he is clever.
