“He’s maybe the best bowler, fast bowler of all time. When you start stacking up the statistics and the varying conditions that he has to go out and execute those skills in, I guess you look at Sir Donald Bradman’s numbers compared to his peers and he’s just so far ahead, so I think Bumrah is sort of in that category across all the different variations that you get in conditions and pitches that you’ve got to bowl on. He’s significantly further ahead than the peers around him, so that tells you we are truly watching greatness,” Gilchrist remarked on Cricbuzz.
The comparability to Bradman is significantly important as the former Australian legend retired with a Test common of practically 100, whereas no different batter with greater than 10 Tests has averaged above 65.

“We just sat and watched in awe at close range commentating on that series and again, I know it’s a different format, but he is the best all-format bowler; that’s nothing to argue there,” added the former Australian wicketkeeper-batter.

Former India spinner Dinesh Karthik referred to as Bumrah a ‘nationwide treasure’.
“He’s a national treasure, I think at the moment for us a lot, whoever follows cricket and wants India to do well, during the BGT, I think all of us were wishing that he could bowl from both ends. India looked a different side and he looked a different bowler against Australia, he is, look, one of the things which I felt with Bumrah over the period of time is that he acclimatises to any pitch very quickly and I think many bowlers have a certain length that they bowl, but he doesn’t have a certain length, he bowls the length which is required on that surface and that’s his greatness, the oddity of his action, obviously everybody talks about, but coupled with the skills that he has and a great brain, when to use it,” Kartik noticed.
