  "summary": "Former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis has praised Jasprit Bumrah as the standout bowler in modern-day white-ball cricket, but believes the Indian fast bowler still has more to prove in the Test format. Despite Bumrah's impressive record of 234 wickets in 52 Tests at an average of 19.7 and a strike rate of 42.8, Waqar feels the pacer hasn't played enough red-ball cricket to be placed ahead of other leading fast bowlers like Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood. Waqar highlighted Bumrah's match-winning spell against Pakistan during the 2024 T20 World Cup, which helped India defend a modest total and secure a six-run victory.",
