Jasprit Bumrah is an Indian fast bowler currently playing for the Mumbai Indians. He is also a member of the national team India.
Fast bowler
Jasprit Bumrah is the leading Indian fast bowler. His ability to use the crease well and move the ball around makes him a deadly opponent. He is also one of the best seam bowlers in the world.
Aside from Tests, he has played 60 T20Is and 70 ODIs. He is the fastest bowler to 50 wickets in all three formats in a match.
One of their unique traits of Bumrah is his ability to use his sling arm action to place a load on the shoulder muscles. This helps him to change the length of the ball with ease. In addition, Bumrah can hit the ball at speeds of up to 140 km/h.
For a while, Bumrah was on the fringes of the national selection. But he eventually managed to earn a call-up. After that, he became a consistent performer for Mumbai Indians, playing eleven matches in the Indian Premier League.
However, he did not play any Tests in September due to a stress fracture in his lower back. Bumrah was rushed to the BCCI’s medical team in Bengaluru and was told to rest for four weeks. The injury is the biggest in his six-and-a-half-year international career.
Unorthodox bowling action
If you have watched cricket for a long time, you must have noticed that Jasprit Bumrah has an unorthodox bowling action. This is one of the reasons why he is considered a world-class pacer today.
This action was initially thought to pose some problems for the star cricketer. However, after a couple of years, Bumrah has silenced all the doubters and proved he is a great player.
The uniqueness of the bowling action of Jasprit Bumrah is why he has made so many fans. He has also made a name for himself as a ‘Death-over specialist.’
Bumrah’s bowling action is also very physical. It is said to be able to deceive batters. His actions have made some experts wonder whether he could survive as an all-format bowler.
He has become popular in India and has a huge fan following. But despite that, many cricket experts are adamant that his action is not advisable. They say that it can result in severe injuries.
Attitude and intentions
Jasprit Bumrah is not just India’s best bowler but one of the most exciting bowlers in the world. He is the current world’s number-one ODI bowler and is expected to play a massive role in the World Cup. However, his attitude and intentions are not the only essential things.
For instance, he needs to be able to take fifteen overs a day in Test cricket. Hence, it is necessary to make an individual and practical decision.
Some people think Bumrah is not serious about playing for Team India and wants to take the easy route. However, others believe he is dedicated and wants to achieve great things.
When he was selected for the national team, he was not part of the original squad. Instead, he was added to the list after the selection committee made a suggestion.
He has taken part in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and may be ready to play the IPL again this season.
