“The most valuable cricketer on the planet”: Dinesh Karthik’s massive praise for Jasprit Bumrah

India’s talisman Jasprit Bumrah, without a modicum of doubt, has been the dominant fast bowler all over the world with the overwhelming bowling skills he possesses. Bumrah has been a prominent figure in India’s bowling department across all formats of the game.
Bumrah’s uncanny skills with bowl make him one of the most successful bowlers in modern cricket. Indian wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik ran out of words in praising world-class bowler Bumrah. Over the years, Bumrah has grown stronger in his bowling and confidence, establishing himself as one of the best fast bowlers in the world.
"To be honest, I don't think there is anyone of his (Bumrah) calibre who can play all three formats and dominate the way he is. That's why I think, at this point, he is the most valuable cricketer on the planet,” Karthik said in a chat with former England cricketers Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton on SkySports.
“Because he is playing all three formats, he is strong and adept in all three formats. I can't think of another player in any skillset who dominates it that much,” he added
Dinesh Karthik playing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru has got a beautiful start, having played crucial roles whenever he has got the opportunity to bat. Though, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been going through difficult times, having suffered four defeats from their five matches. Their solitary victory in the tournament was against Punjab Kings.
