Chandigarh (Punjab) [India], June 20 (ANI): Former cricketer Yograj Singh lauded the right-arm seamer Jasprit Bumrah for his exceptional performance in the first innings of the ongoing Leeds Test at Headingley against England.

Speaking to the ANI about Bumrah, Yograj said, 'If the Indian team needs to be improved, the four bench strength need to be powerful, for which four teams need to be formed, for which, in turn, domestic cricket must be mandated for all... When domestic cricket, apart from IPL, is improved, we will rule the world... This team will return victorious... Bumrah is a great player...'
