English fast bowler Tymal Mills has declared Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah the best bowler in world cricket, highlighting his exceptional consistency and skill across all three international formats.

Speaking in an interview with Cricx, the 34-year-old English left-arm pacer reflected on his experience sharing the dressing room with Bumrah during the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) season while playing for the Mumbai Indians.

"I think Jasprit Bumrah sets himself apart in every format," Mills stated. "I was fortunate to spend that season with him in Mumbai and see up close how he goes about his work. His skill level is extraordinary. On his day, he can bowl as fast as anyone. Crucially, he is equally effective across all formats—Tests, ODIs, or T20s. So for me, Bumrah is probably the best in the world."

Key Career Highlights and Performance Metrics

Mills' assessment is backed by Bumrah's pivotal role in India's recent global T20 tournament successes:

• 2024 T20 World Cup: Delivered a match-winning spell of 2/18 in four overs during the final against South Africa, earning the Player of the Tournament award for his campaign performance.

• T20 International Career-Best: Recorded career-best figures of 4/15 in four overs against New Zealand during the final in Ahmedabad in March, securing the Player of the Match title.

• IPL Experience: During the 2022 season alongside Mills at Mumbai Indians, Bumrah claimed 15 wickets in 14 matches while maintaining an economy rate just over seven runs per over.
