India are currently taking on England in the fourth Test of the five-match series at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester. The visitors are reeling at Tea on Day 3, aw the hosts have taken a 75-run lead, with 6 wickets in hand. India have been pretty ordinary with the ball throughout the England innings. Jasprit Bumrah was supposed to be India's hero with the ball. However, he has failed to take any wicket so far. Now, former England captain turned commentator Michael Vaughan has made the stunning claim that the likes of Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer have been better than the ace Indian pacer.
In an interaction on BBC, Michael Vaughan said that Jasprit Bumrah has not been at his best at Old Trafford, and has not showed the form that he showed in the 3rd Test at Lord's. In fact, he went on to say that Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer have been better than him in this Test.
“I have to say Jasprit Bumrah has looked okay and playable today," Vaughan said on the BBC. “He hasn’t got that oomph that he got out of the surface at Lord’s when he bowled that incredible spell and it’s the pace that Bumrah is not able to generate, unlike Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer," Vaughan said.
