Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell is the latest to shower praise on India’s star pacer, Jasprit Bumrah. Considered among the finest bowlers across formats today, Maxwell shared an impressive prediction about Bumrah’s future legacy in cricket. Currently ranked as the world’s No. 1 Test bowler by the ICC, Maxwell called Bumrah the best bowler he has ever encountered. But the praise didn’t end there; Maxwell went on to make a striking prediction, admiring Bumrah’s exceptional skill.
Glenn Maxwell Predicts a Legendary Future for Jasprit Bumrah
Maxwell expressed high regard for Jasprit Bumrah, saying, “I believe Bumrah could end up being recognized as the greatest all-format bowler ever,” in a video shared by ESPNcricinfo.
He further commented, “In my experience, he’s the best bowler I’ve faced.”
Maxwell described what makes Bumrah exceptional. “His unique release point, with the ball launched so far in front, gives him the ability to adjust line and length until the last moment,” he said. Maxwell added that Bumrah’s slower ball is outstanding, his yorkers are precise, and he can swing the ball both ways. “He has a brilliant wrist, sharp instincts, and knows all the tricks of a top fast bowler,” Maxwell concluded.

Maxwell has faced Bumrah both in international matches for Australia and in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In 15 international innings against him, Bumrah has dismissed Maxwell seven times. This record highlights Bumrah’s dominance over Maxwell, showcasing the bowler’s skill and the challenges Maxwell faces with Bumrah’s unique style.
Bumrah is expected to be a key player for India in their pursuit of a historic fifth consecutive Border-Gavaskar Trophy win in Australia later in 2024. However, Maxwell will not face Bumrah in the series, as he is no longer in Australia’s Test squad.
Both Bumrah and Maxwell are also expected to stir discussions in the upcoming IPL retention announcements on October 31. Bumrah is likely to be retained by Mumbai Indians (MI), while Maxwell’s position with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) remains uncertain, adding intrigue to his future in the league.
