Former Indian fast-bowler Chetan Sharma named a bowler in the current crop of India's fast bowlers who excites him the most and he is none other than young pace sensation Jasprit Bumrah.

Sharma, who is the only Indian to claim a hat-trick in a World Cup, further went on to predict that Bumrah is the only bowler in the current line-up who has the ability to emulate his feat in the upcoming 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup in England.

On Thursday (November 1), Sharma told indiatvnews.com via telephone, “Jasprit Bumrah is a player who can break any bowling record. In World Cups, I am the only Indian to take a hattrick. Bumrah is so talented, I bet he can take a hattrick anywhere in the world for India at any stage. I wish he does that soon and especially if he does it in the World Cup then it would be truly thrilling.”

Commenting on Indian pace attack, the Ludhiana-born bowler said, “From what I have seen of Khaleel Ahmed, he bowls pretty well whenever the conditions support fast bowling like he did at CCI. But it's too early to arrive at a conclusion about him as he has only played a handful of matches. But its good to see that he comes into his groove very early and has the ability to bowl according to the conditions. I think he will be really successful in England. It will also be interesting to see how he performs on bouncy Australian pitches if given the chance.”

Sharma signed off by saying, “Even though all our bowlers are right handed, they are doing exceptionally well. However, a good left-arm pacer like Khaleel definitely gives variety to the attack. Let Khaleel prove himself and then they should include him in the team on a more consistent basis.”
