‘Forget Jasprit Bumrah, Even Our Siraj Is Better Than Shaheen Afridi’ – Harbhajan Singh
Harbhajan Singh thinks Shaheen Afridi doesn't even come close to Bumrah because Bumrah is in a league of his own.
The former Indian all-rounder Harbhajan Singh believes that Mohammed Siraj is a better fast bowler than Shaheen Shah Afridi, the fast-bowling sensation from Pakistan.
In a recent conversation with News 24 Sports, Harbhajan Singh was asked to choose between Jasprit Bumrah and Shaheen Shah Afridi as to who is the better fast bowler.
In reply, Harbhajan Singh stated that Shaheen Afridi can’t be compared to Bumrah; Bumrah is in a class of his own. He further went on to say that let alone Bumrah, Shaheen Afridi is not even better than Mohammed Siraj.
The Punjab cricketer said that Mohammed Siraj has more pace, more ability to swing, and more ability to fight compared to Shaheen Afridi, who has been hailed as one of the premier fast bowlers in Pakistani cricket currently.
“There are no better fast bowlers and Jasprit Bumrah in world cricket. He is in the league of his own. I bet if Shaheen Shah Afridi can bowl better than Mohammed Siraj. I agree that he might be the number one in the ICC rankings, but when it comes to pace, ability to swing and ability to fight, Mohammed Siraj is far better than Shaheen Afridi.”
Shaheen Shah Afridi was recently sacked as the T20 captain of Pakistan, with the leadership being handed over to Babar Azam once again. The tall fast bowler is currently playing in the five-match T20 series against New Zealand at home.
