jasprit bumrah vs Wasim Akram: Indian cricket team's star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is the best fast bowler of the current era, there is no doubt about it, but is he better than the great fast bowler of the old era, Wasim Akram? Most of you will say that perhaps Bumrah should not be compared with Wasim Akram because Bumrah is still playing and Akram has retired from cricket a long time ago, but if we look at the statistics of both of them, then in the mirror of statistics, Bumrah seems to be overshadowing Akram.

Whereas Bumrah has played only 38 Test matches so far in which he has taken 170 wickets in 73 innings and if we talk about the records of both of them after 73 Test innings, then Bumrah is currently ahead of Akram.
