Adam Gilchrist Compares Bumrah to Bradman After Magical Spell vs RR
Cricket fans witnessed a legendary moment as former Australian great Adam Gilchrist heaped massive praise on Jasprit Bumrah, comparing him to none other than Sir Donald Bradman after his sensational performance against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 50th match of IPL 2025. The Mumbai Indians pacer delivered a match-defining spell, conceding just 15 runs and taking two wickets in four overs including an incredible 15 dot balls.
Adam Gilchrist didn’t hold back in declaring Jasprit Bumrah as possibly “the greatest fast bowler of all time.” He remarked that Bumrah’s dominance over his peers is reminiscent of how Bradman’s batting stats towered over others in his era. “When you look at Bumrah’s stats and how he performs across different conditions, you see how far ahead he is. Like Bradman, he stands alone,” Gilchrist said.
He further added that Bumrah’s skill set is unmatched, no matter the pitch or playing conditions. “Watching him bowl is a delight even if you’re supporting the opposition,” Adam Gilchrist added, emphasizing just how special the MI pacer is.
This latest performance against RR reinforced why Bumrah is one of the most feared bowlers in modern cricket. With his pinpoint yorkers, icy composure, and consistency, Bumrah continues to elevate the art of fast bowling and now, with a Bradman comparison, his legacy just reached a whole new level.
