Adam Gilchrist Compares Jasprit Bumrah to Sir Donald Bradman

Former Australian wicketkeeper and cricket legend Adam Gilchrist delivered a massive compliment to India’s star pacer Jasprit Bumrah after his phenomenal spell against Rajasthan Royals in the 50th match of IPL 2025. Gilchrist stated that Bumrah might be the greatest fast bowler of all time, praising his unmatched skill set and consistency across formats and conditions.

Bumrah Compared to Bradman in Peer Dominance

Gilchrist drew a bold and rare parallel by likening Bumrah’s dominance over modern-day bowlers to Sir Donald Bradman’s supremacy in his era. According to the Aussie great, just like Bradman’s stats dwarfed his contemporaries, Bumrah’s current numbers and influence are miles ahead of other fast bowlers in the game today.

“He’s maybe the best fast bowler of all time… you look at Bradman’s numbers compared to his peers—Bumrah is similarly far ahead,” Gilchrist said on Cricbuzz.

Gilchrist emphasized that Bumrah’s adaptability to diverse conditions—from turning Indian pitches to bouncy overseas tracks—makes him a rare and elite talent. He believes Bumrah’s consistency and ability to deliver under pressure in any scenario firmly place him among cricket’s true greats.

“Across all different variations, pitches, and conditions… Bumrah is significantly ahead of his peers. We are truly watching greatness,” Gilchrist added.
