India pacer Jasprit Bumrah is bowling exceptionally well ever since his comeback to international cricket following the back surgery.

The right-arm quick played a key role in India’s Asia Cup triumph last month and he is now making the batters dance to his tunes in the Cricket World Cup 2023.

Bumrah has taken 14 wickets from six games at an astonishing average of 15.07 in this World Cup. On Sunday (October 29), he wreaked havoc on the England batting line-up, claiming three wickets to script India’s 100-run victory in a low-scoring encounter in Lucknow.

After the game, Pakistan legend Wasim Akram hailed Bumrah as the 'complete bowler' and called him 'the best in the world'.

"Bumrah ne gumrah kar diya..kya ball seam ho raha hein..beautiful. Around the wicket, unplayable to the left handers. The length...That's how you create pressure," Akram said in a discussion on A Sports.

"From the first over itself, he’s [Bumrah] bowling inswings and a couple of outswings. His length and seam positions are impeccable. Yorkers at will...He is the best in the world right now. Top of the ladder, the way he is performing, the control, pace, the variations, he is just a complete bowler. Treat to watch," he added.

Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq was also impressed with Bumrah's ability to swing the new ball.

"He is swinging with the new ball. You (Akram) used to practise by tapping the ball to swing. Where is he getting swing from the new ball?" asked Misbah.

"On such pitch, in such conditions, to bowl outswingers...To Bairstow, he bowled two outswingers and the next two deliveries were inswingers, it went through the gap and the keeper caught it above shoulder. Pace, carry, follow through, you named it. Everything. Complete bowler, mentally and physically," Wasim added.

To which, Misbah said: "To bowl an outswinger to a left-hander from that angle, that is very very difficult."

"When Bumrah bowls to left-handers around the wicket, he bowls similar to my outswingers to right-handers. But Bumrah has better control than me with the new ball," Akram showered rich compliment on the Indian pace spearhead.

"His length and line are so accurate, batters have no clue how to play them," Misbah remarked.

"The kind of length he bowls with the new ball, it creates uncertainty for the batters. Only remedy for Bumrah is to put pressure on him. Uski boot chori kar lo, bowling na kar paye," Akram quipped.

With this victory, India reclaimed the top position on the World Cup 2023 points table. They will next face Sri Lanka in Mumbai on November 2.
