In an epic discussion on social media, Daley Steyn referred to Jasprit Bumrah as ‘God’.
Being a good bowler in T20 cricket has become extremely difficult in an era where teams are consistently scoring over 200 runs. Some of the best batting performances of the season have come from teams like Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders, who have amassed scores well over 200 runs. The South African veteran stated that if there was ever a moment he would have preferred to be a bowler, it would be now, after witnessing another performance of that like by SRH in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match against Delhi Capitals.
Steyn stated that a good bowler would be regarded as “God” in today’s world, despite the fact that many bowlers have been demoralized in recent weeks due to the incredible batting performances of batters in the IPL.
It’s always a good time to be a bowler; if you can make yourself the best, you’ll be a sought-after god among common people. Or, as I might put it, I’m delighted I’m retired and no longer bowling.

In response to Steyn’s article, one fan said, “Just abbreviate it and say, ‘Be a Jasprit Bumrah!”” The South African icon did not hold back when he acknowledged that Bumrah is one of those bowlers who is controlling the game despite the fact that the odds are heavily stacked in favor of batters.”Well, precisely that,” Steyn answered the admirer.Right now, Bumrah has the purple cap after taking 13 wickets in 7 matches with an economy rate of 5.96 and an average of 12.84. When bowlers are routinely giving up more than 10 runs each over, Bumrah is still ruthless when it comes to giving up runs.
