Jasprit Bumrah and R Ashwin
Lavishing praise on teammate Jasprit Bumrah, senior India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said Boomball stole the show in the second Test against England and the pacer reaching top of the ICC rankings across three formats is a Himalayan feat. Bumrah displayed brilliance with the ball to play a key role in the team's series-levelling 106-run win in the second Test in Visakhapatnam.

He put up a reverse swing master-class in England's first innings that yielded him six wickets (6-45), following it up with a three-wicket haul in their second essay for match figures of 9 for 91. "The real show stealer was Boomball. Jasprit Bumrah has bowled extraordinarily," Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.
"He is the leading wicket-taker with 14 wickets and also the No. 1 ranked Test bowler. The first India fast bowler to achieve number one across all formats. I am a big fan of his and this is a Himalayan feat."
