India Team Discussion

For me he is still the best number 3 batsman in 20 20 for india and this will be a massive let down as a indian cricket fan if they cant even pick him in the 15 man world cup squad.

I hope they don't pick him.

Has Jasprit Bumrah taken over as the Greatest Pacer of All Time for India?

Or does someone else still make it on the top?

Probably in a year. For me its still Jaydev Unadkat

You forgot Prabhakar, Dinda and Barinder Sran

Zaheer Khan? That man was instrumental in getting us the world cup in 2011. Single handedly carried the entire bowling lineup for years.

With due respect, I would say he was good or even among the best at one time but certainly not the greatest. To term one as "great" you need the world to sit up and take notice. ZK, I would say, made full use of his potential and served India well - that's for sure. But it wasn't like he was a generational talent.

But in respect to that while Bumrah has made the world to sit and watch but what is his impact on Indian Cricket team trophy cabinet?

I guess that's subjective then. My definition of greatness is not dependent only on whether the player helped India win a trophy or not.

Zaheer was good and I grew up watching him bowl but he is no Bumrah. I feel like Bumrah could be argued to be the best pace bowler in cricket history if he gets more tests under his belt… Zaheer as good as he was is someways off that level.

But in respect to that while Bumrah has made the world to sit and watch but what is his impact on Indian Cricket team trophy cabinet?

Plenty of great players have nothing to show for in terms of trophies won either, don’t think that should impact his legacy when he’s a trailblazer for Indian cricket as a whole.
