Indian national cricket team fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has placed himself in a completely different league. Even though he is young in his career, the right-arm fast bowler is already considered the best fast bowler to have played for the Indian team.
Ever since Jasprit Bumrah made his debut for the Indian team, he has been the backbone of the howling line-up. The fast bowler has performed equally well for the team in all three formats, taking wickets at important times and leading his team to victory.
Jasprit Bumrah recently exuded his class with the ball in the recently-concluded T20 World Cup 2024. The fast bowler was one of the major reasons behind the Indian national cricket team’s victory in the tournament as he pulled his team out of impossible situations and helped them win.
Bumrah made an impact at the 2024 T20 World Cup from the start as he won the Man of the Match award twice in a row against Ireland and Pakistan. He was sensational for his team both with the new ball and at the death.
Jasprit Bumrah maintained his good form throughout the tournament, and even in the final, he looked like a top-class player. He won the Player of the Tournament award for his 15 wickets at an average of 8.26 and helped his team end the title drought and win the first ICC title after 2013.
Jasprit Bumrah’s impact has been such that all the youngsters in India are trying to copy his actions. The fast bowler is known for his unconventional action, and not just kids but many players have also tried to emulate him as his short run action has always been in the news.
On Saturday (August 17), a video of a young girl perfectly imitating his throwing style went viral on the Internet. She imitated the pacer’s throwing style as she threw towards the nets and many applauded her for her effort.
Here is the video:

Jasprit Bumrah will next be seen in action during the New Zealand Test series in October; he is likely to be rested for the Bangladesh Tests and T20I series.
Jasprit Bumrah was last seen in action during the 2024 T20 World Cup and has not played a single match for the team since then. The fast bowler was rested for the white-ball tour against the Sri Lanka National Cricket Team.
Bumrah has also not been named in any of the squads for the Duleep Trophy. The player will reportedly be rested for the Test series against Bangladesh. He is likely to return for the next three-Test series against New Zealand, which will begin on October 16.
The fast bowler will have to play a major role in the Tests against New Zealand. After that, India will travel to Australia for the five-match Test series. For India to register their third consecutive win in Australia, Bumrah will have to give his best and help the team win.
