Actually, neither will we, Jasprit.

Fast bowling legends from the Caribbean have been singing his praise over the past week, and Ian Bishop took it to another level after Bumrah's hat-trick.
Jasprit Bumrah is a once in a lifetime talent.

The Carribean islands have seen so many fast bowling greats dish out their fury, and this performance from @Jaspritbumrah93 would have made each of those greats extremely happy. Wow just wow. #WIvIND

Playing only his 12th Test, Bumrah became the third member of India's Test hat-tricks club with Harbhajan Singh (2001, Kolkata v Aus) and Irfan Pathan (2006, Karachi v Pakistan)
Welcome to the #Hattrick club @Jaspritbumrah93

It's been a long time coming for India. An express quick running through oppositions across conditions.
In 70s and 80s, the West Indies pacers intimidated the world.. now, at Sabina Park, where @BishanBedi once declared an innings to avoid tail-enders being hit by the bouncer barrage, India's fast bowling gem, @Jaspritbumrah93 runs thru Windies with hat trick! Salute!

Virat Kohli's reaction on the stump mic rather summed up the collective emotions of every Indian fan.
Just how good has Bumrah been so far? Ticked-all-possible-boxes good, it seems.
Bumrah is playing his 12th Test. None ave been at home. He's:

- Won India a Test at Wanderers
- Averaged 17 in Aus
- Helped win a Test in Nottingham
- Has a five-for in all four countries he's played in
- Now has a hat-trick
There's just no more exciting player in the game.
Memories of Jofra Archer, another quick who's tormenting top-class opposition in another part of the world, weren't far away.
The two most exciting fast bowlers in world cricket don't have run-ups.

I want Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer bowling together.
— Saurabh Somani (@saurabh_42) August 31, 2019
Please someone make it happen.
I want that even more than I want Virat Kohli and Steven Smith batting together.
Bumrah was rested from the limited-overs series earlier, and his figures across the two Tests make you think it was all worth it.
Two five-fors

A hat-trick
