The two most talked about pacers are Pakistan’s Shaheen Shah Afridi and India’s Jasprit Bumrah. Just as the cricket fight between two countries turns into a field war in twenty-two yards, the fight between these two pacers has also become competitive. Who is the best in that fight? Such a question always arises in the world of cricket. However, former Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzak called not Bumrah, but Shaheen of his country the best in the fight between the two.
According to Razzaq, Bumrah is far behind Shaheen. The pace of the Pakistani pacer, perfect yorker, and bouncer all is dangerous for world-class batsmen. From that point of view, Razzak does not see Bumrah even close to Shaheen. However, the main strength of the Indian pacer is the elusive yorker with speed. Bumrah is an expert to make fooling the opposition batsmen with effective bouncers.
Recently, while talking to the media, the journalists asked Razzak to know, who is the best pacer of the present time. In response, the former Pakistani all-rounder said, “Shaheen is an excellent bowler. All the qualities that a pacer should have, Shaheen’s bowling has. There is no other pacer even close to him at present. Bumrah is a good enough bowler. But he is not close to Shaheen.”
The two Asian bowlers are now out of the field incising the regret of cricket lovers. Shaheen and Bumrah have been out of action for a long time due to injuries. The Indian pacer has already missed the last Asia Cup and T20 World Cup. The team ignores his absence. On the other hand, despite not being able to play in the Asia Cup, Shaheen played in the T20 World Cup. However, he got injured again in the final match of the tournament.
Shaheen has played 25 Tests, 32 ODIs and 47 T20 matches for Pakistan. Where he has taken a total of 219 wickets. On the other hand, Bumrah has played 30 Tests, 72 ODIs and 60 T20Is for India. And took a total of 319 wickets. Meanwhile, the stars are waiting to return to the field after recovering from their injuries for their respective teams.
