Former England captain Geoff Boycott has lashed out at claims of India’s lead pacer and stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah being a better bowler than former India skipper and 1983 World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev, saying both bowlers cannot be compared.  

“How can someone say Bumrah is a better bowler than Kapil? I am surprised to hear this. First of all, we should not make any comparisons between Bumrah and Kapil. Bumrah is a fast bowler, beautiful bowler, but I can’t say he is better than Kapil, who was an amazing bowler, a magnificent swing bowler,” the former opener remarked.
