Broad compared Bumrah with the legendary Australia fast bowler
Glenn McGrath
in having the "most balanced delivery stride" in world cricket.
"He (Bumrah) jogs in, you will be thinking 'this will be 70 miles an hour' and it hits you at 90 and you don't get a real flow. When I faced Shoaib Akhtar, he sprint in at a hundred miles an hour and delivered at a hundred miles an hour," Broad said in the podcast 'For the Love of Cricket' which also featured England batter

"You were ready, but Bumrah is so balanced, in his run-up, it's a short-stride pattern, so he never gets over stride and of balance. I look at Glenn McGrath (who) had the most balanced delivery stride that I watched and Bumrah is the same."
Bumrah is not expected to play all the five-Tests of the series which has been confirmed by chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir as a part of
workload management

Broad, who took 604 wickets from 167 Tests before retiring in 2023, said Burmah will take a "shedload of wickets" if he plays in all the five matches of the series starting in Leeds on Friday.
"He is going to be certainly one to watch and certainly someone that England won't want to play five Tests, because if he does, he's going to pick up a shedload of wickets, isn't he?
"There was that great bit of play in Australia wherein he got in a scrap in the last over with (Sam) Konstas and (Usman) Khawaja was on strike. He nicked Khawaja off, got him out. He was screaming and roaring.
"He has definitely got that; every fast bowler has to have that emotion in him, but there is a real sharpness to his competitive spirit (and) that he has grown up in that (Virat) Kohli (captaincy) era."
Buttler said there isn't a bigger superstar in the touring Indian side than Bumrah.
"I don't think there's a bigger star in that touring squad than Jasprit Bumrah," he said.
"But facing him, he creates awkward angles, the run-up is unique, the action is unique. I think it have seen the side-ons (bowlers) but he delivers the ball from about a foot or even a bit more closer to the batsman than the average bowler so the ball feels quicker even than the pace he is actually bowling at."
Buttler said Bumrah's action could make one feel like a sitting target.
"For me as a right-hander, it always felt like it was coming in, but he could beat me on the outside, and you sort of find yourself in a horrible position, squared up and a bit of a sitting target," said the former England white-ball captain.
"He is a superstar bowler, and that's what you expect in international cricket, you are going to come up against great players and certainly someone England will need to play well to have good success," he said.

Shohei Ohtani's inner circle betrayal ends in prison as ex-interpreter starts prison sentence for $16 million scam
Shohei Ohtani's inner circle betrayal ends in prison as ex-interpreter starts prison sentence for $16 million scam (Image Source: Getty Images) One of baseball's most famous players, Shohei Ohtani, is once again grabbing attention, but not only for his play. While the Los Angeles Dodgers get ready for a big game , attention has turned to a startling chapter from Ohtani's history. A trusted figure from his early career has now officially started a prison sentence. Fans are surprised by how deep the betrayal went and what it means for Ohtani moving forward. Ippei Mizuhara reports to prison for stealing from Shohei Ohtani On Monday, June 3, 2025, Ippei Mizuhara, who once worked as Shohei Ohtani's personal interpreter, reported to a federal prison in Pennsylvania. Mizuhara will serve 57 months at the Federal Correctional Institution Allenwood Low. He was sentenced for stealing more than $16 million from Ohtani. — patriotnews (@patriotnews) Mizuhara helped Ohtani with English during his early years in Major League Baseball. He worked closely with him both on and off the field. But in March 2024, the Los Angeles Dodgers fired Mizuhara after discovering he had used Ohtani's money to place illegal bets and pay gambling debts. The U.S. Attorney's Office said Mizuhara used his trusted position to commit fraud. He was originally facing up to 33 years in prison. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Doutor: Manter a massa muscular após os 50 anos depende deste hábito noturno Saúde em Foco Undo But after he pleaded guilty to bank fraud and filing false tax documents, his sentence was reduced. Shohei Ohtani reacts to betrayal before returning to the mound Ohtani shared his feelings shortly after Mizuhara's actions were exposed last year. Speaking in March 2024, he said, 'To find someone I trusted had made such a grave mistake has personally been very sad and upsetting.' He added that it was hard to describe the deep hurt he felt from the betrayal.

Shohei Ohtani focused on the game notwithstanding the emotional weight. He had what is possibly the best season in baseball history in 2024. He joined the unusual "50-50" club by pilfering 50 bases and blasting 50 home runs in the same year.

Fabiano Caruana: Indian youngsters very strong, but I don't find them scary yet, whatsoever
Over the last few years, there has been plenty of talk in chess about an Indian take over at the top of the rankings. There are currently four Indian players among the top 10 spots in the FIDE ratings and a 19-year-old from Chennai, Gukesh, occupies the world champion's throne. But Fabiano Caruana has said on his podcast after the Norway Chess tournament that there is still time for Indian prodigies like Gukesh, Praggnanandhaa and Arjun Erigaisi taking over the top spots in the sport from the likes of world no 1 Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura and Caruana himself. The recently-ended Norway Chess tournament was a clash of generations in that sense with Carlsen, Caruana and Nakamura representing their generation while Gukesh and Erigaisi were flying the flag for Indian prodigies. Gukesh even went into the final day of the event with a chance to win the title, trailing Carlsen by half a point. But in the end, it was Carlsen who won his 7th title at Stavanger while Caruana pipped Gukesh to second spot. Nakamura was fourth ahead of Erigaisi. Caruana believes that the Indian stars are great players, but they're 'not scary' yet. '(These Indians players are) very strong. I think that we'll be competing on more or less equal terms for a while. But I don't find them scary yet. Whatsoever!' Caruana said on his C Squared Podcast. At Norway Chess, Caruana beat Gukesh in the final game to deliver a cruel heartbreak on the Indian teenager who had started the day with hopes of winning the tournament. In the previous game, the duo had drawn their classical duel. Caruana had beaten Arjun once at the tournament and lost the second time with colours reversed to the Indian. Caruana, who finds himself on 4th spot in the FIDE June ratings between Erigaisi and Gukesh, then explained why the world of chess was unlikely to see a changing of guard in the near future. 'If Levon Aronian is 10 years older than me and he's competing on completely equal terms with these young guys… or Hikaru, who's five years older than me, and it feels like he's still a stronger player than these young guys for the most part… then why would there be this theory that they're going to take over anytime soon. Especially if you consider that Magnus is, I would say, clearly stronger than them,' he said. He praised the Indians as fighters, but pointed out that they were giving their opponents plenty of chances too in games. 'When I play for example Arjun or Gukesh, I do get this feeling — not just based on this Norway Chess tournament, but on many tournaments — that I can really outplay them very significantly and get a lot of winning chances. I don't think they can outplay me in the same way. Although they will get winning chances and then it's about some other factors. Really this is my honest opinion. It's not me trying to play them down or anything. I'm not doing that. They can definitely outperform me in various ways. But my feeling is that if it's a long match, they're great fighters, but they also give a lot of chances and (for them) it can be very frustrating to play against someone who doesn't give many chances.'
