The former South African fast bowler heaped praise on special Jasprit Bumrah, who played an important role in the first Test between India and South Africa. Ntini was impressed with Bumrah's release point as well as the Indian striker's acceleration angle which caused problems for the batsmen.
“Look where Bumrah drops the ball. He let the ball go over his head. This gives him the right angle to return the ball. Can get a direct pass after a throw. Makhaya Ntini speaks to PTI about Jasprit Bumrah on the sidelines of the first Test between India and South Africa at Centurion.
India's leading wicketkeeper in SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia), Jasprit Bumrah poses problems for batsmen with unusual angles. This was proven by collecting 101 Test wickets in SENA countries in just 25 matches.
Makhaya Ntini has played against Zaheer Khan, Asish Nehra and Javagal Srinath, among other Indian players. However, he did not hesitate to admit that Jasprit Bumrah was special.
“I don't know if he has a strong wrist and if his action is always the same. It is so beautiful. Her Yorkies, she didn't miss a single one, it was something that everyone loved. India is not a team without Bumrah. » added Makhaya Ntini.
