Team India pacer Jasprit Bumrah was in quite a jeopardy when former allrounder Yuvraj Singh asked him a few tricky questions

During a Live Instagram session, the speeder was quizzed to name the better middle-order batsman between Yuvraj and Dhoni.

Yuvi also asked Bumrah to name the between batter between current Indian skipper Virat Kohli and batting legend Sachin Tendulkar.

The star pacer tried to wiggle his way out of these tough questions by saying he is relatively new to international cricket and does not have the required experience to ve answering such debatable questions.

“Choosing between Yuvraj and MS Dhoni is like choosing between Mum and Dad,” Bumrah said.

“Do you remember the Cuttack ODI where you registered your highest one-day score? The entire dressing room was elated that day because, for me, I grew up feeling happy whenever you both stitched a partnership together."

"It’s a genuine answer I can’t pick one,” Bumrah said while recalling the 256-run match-winning partnership for the fourth wicket between Yuvraj and Dhoni vs England.

Yuvraj then showered praises on the 26-year-old for his tremendous performances in Test cricket and backed him to do well despite the pressure from fans and critics.

“You need to believe that you are going to be the No.1 Test bowler in the coming years. You need to have that belief irrespective of what everyone says outside… Your target should be to become No.1 bowler in all three formats. You are probably one of the most mature guys in the team,” Yuvraj said.

Bumrah is key member of the Mumbai Indians (MI) side for the 13th season of IPL, which BCCI decided to suspend until further notice, as a precautionary measure against the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation in India.

The opening match of this year's IPL was supposed to be played between the most successful teams of IPL - defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) - at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on March 29.
