Jasprit Bumrah's Overall Performance Hailed by NZ's All-format Skipper Tim Southee

During his attendance at the CEAT Cricket Rating Awards, Tim Southee heaped laurels on Jasprit Bumrah's comeback from what was deemed a career-threatening injury. He also applauded the senior pacer's ability to deliver his best version across all three formats, which is an arduous thing to do.

"I think he's been incredibly well to be able to firstly bounce back from the major injury he had and come back and he's even better than what he was beforehand and then throw in on top of that. Having to juggle multiple formats can be difficult at times as well, and he seems to have been able to do that with these as well.

"He's probably more experienced and understands this game a bit more... I think we just seen a great version of Jasprit Bumrah across all three formats," Tim Southee said as per ANI.
