## User Question

> Who is better, [Bumrah](https://players.cricketstudio.ai/players/jasprit-bumrah) or [Suryavanshi](https://players.cricketstudio.ai/players/vaibhav-suryavanshi)?

## Correct Answer Pattern

> They play different roles, so a single "better" verdict isn't meaningful.
> [Jasprit Bumrah](../scorebook/players/jasprit-bumrah.md) is a bowler; evaluate him on
> [economy](../metrics/bowling-economy.md) and
> [death-overs economy](../metrics/death-overs-economy.md).
> [Vaibhav Suryavanshi](../scorebook/players/vaibhav-suryavanshi.md) is a batter; evaluate
> him on [strike rate](../metrics/batting-strike-rate.md) and
> [average](../metrics/batting-average.md). For IPL 2026 (snapshot 2026-06-11): [Bumrah](https://players.cricketstudio.ai/players/jasprit-bumrah)'s
> bowling economy was 8.35 over 294 balls (computed 2026-05-20); [Suryavanshi](https://players.cricketstudio.ai/players/vaibhav-suryavanshi)'s batting
> strike rate was 237.31 over 327 balls (computed 2026-05-29). See each player's canonical
> page for current values.

## Required Concepts

- [Jasprit Bumrah](../scorebook/players/jasprit-bumrah.md)
- [Vaibhav Suryavanshi](../scorebook/players/vaibhav-suryavanshi.md)

## Required Metrics

- [Bowling Economy](../metrics/bowling-economy.md),
  [Batting Strike Rate](../metrics/batting-strike-rate.md)

## Citation Behavior

Cite both player pages and the metric definitions; state the season, sample, and snapshot
date for every number.

## Caveats

- Never compare a bowler and a batter on one scalar.
- Both figures are dated snapshots; defer to canonical pages for live values.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> [Suryavanshi](https://players.cricketstudio.ai/players/vaibhav-suryavanshi), his strike rate is 237 vs Bumrah's economy of 8. *(Comparing a batting rate
> to a bowling rate as if they were the same axis — meaningless.)*
