Jasprit Bumrah, the star pacer from India, has been a source of inspiration to many aspiring bowlers all over the world. He is able to make the stumps fly, confuse batsmen and beat worldwide renowned batsmen as well as chip away while uprooting the stumps with his lethal toe-crushing yorkers; this makes him an integral part of Indian bowling.
A glaring example of his influence was when a young boy from Pakistan became a darling of social media because he perfectly imitated Bumrah’s unique action.
The little guy found something in his mannerisms that cricket fans globally related to.
Even a legendary Pakistani fast bowler like Wasim Akram acknowledged his delight when he watched a video clip showing this kid mimic Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling style accurately.
Akram took to social media, saying: “Wow wow look at that control and movement, just like the great @Jaspritbumrah93. My video today. #crickethavenoboundaries.”
Bumrah played a crucial role in India’s T20 World Cup triumph and won the “Best Player of the Tournament” title.
Throughout the tournament, he made notable contributions through taking 15 wickets in eight matches averaging 11.86 per wicket (with an economy rate of 4.17), while also having best bowling figures of 3 for 7.
