News India Live, Digital Desk: Cricket: One of the greatest batsmen in cricket history and West Indies veteran Brian Lara has recently shared a list of his personal ‘Greatest of All Time’ (GOAT) players. This list is also interesting because he has also placed a place to Jasprit Bumrah, the current fast bowler of the Indian team, who is a big face of today’s cricket.
This specific list of Lara includes the names of a total of four players, and the happiest for Indian fans is that Indian Yorker King Jaspreet Bumrah has also been successful in making his place. Bumrah’s ability to perform best in all three formats (Tests, ODIs and T20s) of the current cricket and his deadly yorker balls have made him one of the top bowlers of world cricket. Putting a legend like Lara in the category of ‘Goat’ proves his talent and influence.
Apart from Bumrah, this list of Lara includes three more great cricketers, whose name is often added to the name ‘Legend’. The first name in this list is of Australia’s Dhakad wicketkeeper-batsman Adam Gilchrist. Gilchrist is known for his explosive batting and excellent wicketkeeping, who has turned the match with his innings in many matches.
The second name is of South Africa’s all -rounder Jacques Kallis. Kallis is counted among the great all -rounders of Test cricket, who contributed equally to their team with both ball and bat. His batting technology and medium -speed bowling made him an invaluable player for any team.
The final and fourth name of the list is of Australian veteran fast bowler Glenn McGrag. McGrag was famous for his exact line-length, continuity and dangerous bouncers. He used to dismiss the batsmen, not at his own pace, but with his cleverness and accuracy, which made him one of the most successful fast bowlers in cricket history.
This selection of a player like Brian Lara shows that he recognizes and appreciates the ability of influential players of the current generation, not only the players of the past, but also. Bumrah’s inclusion in this specific list is a symbol of his global identity and continuous excellent performance.
