Jasprit Bumrah: A Marvel of Modern Bowling
Jasprit Bumrah’s cricketing journey has been remarkable, capturing attention with his unique bowling action and exceptional skills on the field. His unconventional sling-arm action and natural pace make his deliveries a daunting challenge for batsmen, who struggle to read his distinctive release point.
Like his Mumbai Indians counterpart, Lasith Malinga, Bumrah is renowned for consistently hitting the blockhole – a rare and invaluable skill he honed during his time in the Indian Premier League (IPL), learning from the Sri Lankan master.
A regular in the India A team, Bumrah came close to national selection but was hindered by a significant left knee injury in late 2014, keeping him out for an exhausting four-and-a-half months. His persistence paid off as he earned a long-awaited recall over a year later. This resurgence was a result of his outstanding performance in the 2015-16 domestic season. He emerged as Gujarat’s second-highest wicket-taker in the Ranji Trophy and topped the bowling charts in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. His highlight was a five-wicket haul in the List-A final, a pivotal contribution to Gujarat’s inaugural one-day title.
These exceptional feats, combined with an unfortunate injury to Mohammed Shami, paved the way for Bumrah’s journey to Australia. In the T20Is against Australia, he showcased his exceptional skills, emerging as the leading wicket-taker and playing a pivotal role in India’s comprehensive 3-0 series triumph. His remarkable performance earned him admiration from cricketing legend MS Dhoni, who hailed him as the tour’s revelation. Bumrah’s excellence secured his place in India’s squad for the 2016 World T20, a testament to his exceptional talent.
