Why Bumrah is OVER-RATED....?

BUMRAH IS OVERRATED....!

There's been debate going on around the world that Jasprit Bumrah Indian Pace Bowler is Best In the world. Many will agree with this debate by seeing his overall stats. These Stats of his are phenomenal no matter what format he's Playing he's taking wickets with good average. BUT where is the lie and where is the reason why this article is being written.
FIRST OF ALL Let's talk About Test Format where he's Ranked #6 now and his best ranking in this format is #3 after just playing 12 Test Matches. Allthough He took 62 wickets @19.24 which is extra ordinary stuff but Is he capable of doing this for longer time span.? Is he Compareable to the Bowlers Like Anderson who just took 27th 5wh in Recent Series in South Africa.? No,Never,Ever. There's been atleast 10 bowlers who are better than him at the moment. Anderson,Stokes,Woakes,Starc,Cumins,Hazlewood and this list goes on and on. So, in short Bumrah can be best in this format but because of sample size he can't be called as best in the world not in the test format As far. Now Let's talk about One Dayers in Next Paragraph.

In ODI's or One Day Internationals he's taken 103 wickets in 58 Matches @21.88 average with economy rate of 4.49. Is he best in this Format ..? Yes can be and he's also #1 ranked bowler in ODIs too but where is the fault again.? By the Look of overall stats of his ODIs career it's Mind-Blowing But when you see the depth of  his stats it's not that great. His Average against Top 6 teams of the Cricketing World Right now is 29.15 almost touching 30 with economy 4.89. More to that his satndalone Stats against Some Top teams doesn't look great either.His Stats are
Against England 6 wickets @45.3 with economy of 6.97
Against Pakistan 4 wickets @48.8 with economy of 4.97
Against Australia 17 wickets @29.82 with economy of 5.04
More to this that he averages 59 in CT2017 in England and averages 33 in wc2019(Against Top 6 teams). Is He good Enough to be called as best after these stats.? I personally don't think so. May be You were not aware of these stats before but Now You are. In my opinion he can be best but he isn't best in this format too.

Now T20is , yeah He's Best in the Buisness here because he bowls some Quick Yorkers at death as well as at Start and all we need in T20s is Yorkers. He certainly is Best in this.

IS he OVERRATED ..?? Tell Your Views Good Bye.
