Bumrah Stuns Cricket World with Shocking Comparison to Aussie Speedster

Cricking legend and former Australian pace great Brett Lee sent shockwaves across the cricketing world with his unprecedented comparison of Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah to Australian speedster Mitchell Johnson.

Lee, who is renowned for his ability to consistently bowl at over 150 kilometers per hour during his prime, lauded Bumrah as an exceptional talent with a rare ability to generate pace, particularly with his slingy action.

As the comparisons flooded in, Lee zeroed in on a rather unexpected parallel between Bumrah and Mitchell Johnson. Known for his unorthodox action and blistering pace that unsettled batters around the globe, Bumrah seemingly has it all to dominate the cricket world.

Lee stated that the similar movements of both fast bowlers at the time of bowling give them an upper hand and make their performance even more noteworthy. With the unorthodox posture of Bumrah combining with his uncanny ability to generate swing and pace, could make his actions unplayable for opposing batsmen.

Reflecting on the unexpected assessment, fans across the globe took to social media platforms to voice their reactions and stir the conversation. While the majority were torn on the Lee comparison, fans still couldn't help but marvel at the talents on display.

Noted as one of the most prolific bowlers of his generation, Mitchell Johnson wowed cricket loyalists during his 73-match test stint, amassing a respectable 313 wicket haul at 28.40. Despite an intimidating 149 kph speed barrier consistently being shattered by his contemporaries, including teammates Lee and fellow speedster Glenn McGrath, Johnson's eccentricity succeeded in subduing his talented rivals.

Meanwhile, 25-year-old fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah entered the hearts of cricket enthusiasts as he rose to prominence on the back of an impressive performance against South Africa at Newlands in 2018. Having etched an excellent 83 wickets in just 22 test matches at an imposing average of 22.10, his unconventional pace has left counterparts agog in awe.

Scores of cricket enthusiasts joined forces in rendering their verdicts, where several fans felt aptly amused at the comparisons between the younger ace of pace Bumrah and the former Australian left-handed pace maestro Johnson.

A cricketing aficionado tweeted: 'Brett Lee's recent comparison has shattered Bumrah's long-standing rapport with ex-South African cricket ace Dale Steyn.'

With opinions continuing to simmer across cricket talk, this latest face-off, however unlikely, continues to stir up new topics of conversation in cricket discussions.
