Former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq called India's most lethal bowler currently, Jasprit Bumrah a 'baby bowler'. Razzaq feels he could have easily dominated Bumrah during his prime. The ex-cricketer also bragged how he dealt with bowlers like Glenn McGrath and Wasim Akram without much fuss.

"After having faced world-class bowlers in my time, I would have had no problem against a bowler like Bumrah. The pressure would have been on him," Razzaq told Cricket Pakistan.

"I have played against great bowlers like Glenn McGrath and Wasim Akram, so Bumrah is a baby bowler in front of me and I could have easily dominated and attacked him," he said.

Razzaq's comments received a backlash on social media. Fans said he isn't practically correct and Bumrah is much more competitive than what his words suggest.

Aakash Chopra took a cheeky dig at Razzaq for his silly comments. He wrote the former Pakistan cricketer is yet to grow up. "Another fine example of the fact that growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional. Well played ????????," wrote Chopra.
