Former South African batter Hashim Amla has named Jasprit Bumrah as the most difficult bowler he faced during his Indian Premier League (IPL) days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a recent podcast with Shubhankar Mishra, Amla lauded Bumrah\u2019s magnificent skill set and consistency across all formats of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cObviously Bumrah,\u201d said Amla when asked about the best he\u2019d faced. \u201cI mean, he\u2019s an amazing bowler, and you see how fantastic he\u2019s been for India. Yeah, I think Bumrah is definitely the best bowler and somebody who challenged me the most. I\u2019d say he\u2019s the most skilful, and as an all-format bowler, he\u2019s just incredible. To just watch him bowl in itself is beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amla, who was known for his calmness and technical brilliance, played two seasons in the IPL for Punjab Kings (then Kings XI Punjab). He played 16 matches and scored 577 runs at an average of 44.38 which included two centuries and three fifties. His overall IPL strike-rate was 141.77. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This acknowledgement from Amla highlights Bumrah\u2019s evolution into one of cricket\u2019s premier fast bowlers. Known for his unorthodox action and pinpoint yorkers, Bumrah has been a match-winner for both India and Mumbai Indians (MI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s difficult to say,\u201d said Amla when asked which team he would like to play for if he got another opportunity. \u201cI mean, they all, it\u2019s all a privilege to play in the IPL. I\u2019d say MI (Mumbai Indians). Well, I suppose now that I\u2019ve had some experience working with MI as a coach in the South African League, you see what a well-run unit it is. Fantastic organisation. The logistics and the planning are great. And also probably Chennai. I mean, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are a fantastic franchise, and it\u2019s no surprise that they are the two most successful IPL teams.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
