The Indian speedster, Jasprit Bumrah came back into the Indian team after a long period of time. Team India have really missed him as they had to play three major ICC tournaments without their ace bowler. But now, the whole India is happy that Bumrah is back and will be playing in the World Cup 2023.

The former South African cricketer, who is also known as Mr. 360 in the cricket world, AB De Villiers shared his views on India's ace bowler while remembering facing him during the IPL. De Villiers was part of the IPL till the 2021 season and had played enough against the Indian bowler. 

"Jasprit Bumrah was in his 130's when I played him at the Wankhede. Not even a year later, I saw a completely different Bumrah running in. He was clocking the 140 mark with fire in his belly, making eye contact with me. I knew the challenge was on."

AB De Villiers, who was one of the most dangerous cricketers in the World, shared his experience of facing Bumrah. He explained the difference he saw in him when Bumrah began his career to the point when he became a consistent bowler for the Indian team. 

The South African believes that his pace went too high within a less than one year time. He also said that Bumrah was exploding fire and was making eye contact with him. Even though the competition between them was equivalent, De Villiers still gave an edge to Bumrah while sharing this. 

Jasprit Bumrah along with the Indian team will be in action for their first World Cup 2023 game on the 8th of October against the Australian team.
