Ashwin Hails Bumrah as "Once-in-a-Generation" Bowler

Ravichandran Ashwin, India's star spinner, has heaped praise on Jasprit Bumrah, calling him a "once-in-a-generation" bowler. Bumrah is set to make his return to Team India for the first time since his impressive performance at the T20 World Cup. The 30-year-old has been named in India's Test squad against Bangladesh, which will kick off in MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, on September 19.

Ashwin, speaking on Vimal Kumar's official YouTube channel, acknowledged that India has traditionally been a batsman-dominated country. However, he emphasized the importance of celebrating Bumrah's exceptional talent. "We should celebrate him even more," Ashwin said.

The India spinner went on to state that Bumrah is currently the most valuable Indian cricketer. "He should be treated as a champion," Ashwin added.

Bumrah has made a significant impact on Test cricket since his debut in 2018. In 36 Test appearances, he has claimed 159 wickets, showcasing his exceptional bowling skills.

The second Test between India and Bangladesh will be held in Kanpur from September 27.
