Former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis named Jasprit Bumrah as the toughest bowler he has faced. He humorously added that he hopes the ace Indian speedster won't be in action in the SA20, South Africa's domestic franchise league, in the future.
Bumrah has established himself as one of the best all-format bowlers in modern-day cricket, especially after blowing away opposition sides over the years, with his relentless consistency. Like most fast bowlers, Bumrah has sustained several injuries during his career. However, none of them has been able to deter his spirit as he continues to build his legacy series after series.
During his illustrious career, du Plessis has had several encounters with Bumrah, both in international cricket as well as in the Indian Premier League. From the intense on-field meetings, the Delhi Capitals' batter has developed admiration for his Mumbai Indians' counterpart.
