In all these times, the Indian team wished for a perfect fast-bowler, but they ended up getting the most imperfect one. A short run-up, an awkward bowling action, and an unusual release, it is what Jasprit Bumrah is. At 26, now he is the leader of India’s pace attack. It is going to be exciting times ahead with him leading the charges of the country’s bowling unit.

Bumrah’s career started as a T20 specialist. His yorkers and slower balls quickly took the center stage. Then fast forward to 2020 he is the leading wicket-taker for India in T20Is. He has bagged 63 wickets in 50 matches. His economy rate of 6.66 is also the best amongst the Indian bowlers.

The pacer will always be indebted to IPL as he is a gem unearthed by this league. Since his debut, Bumrah has been churning out some impressive numbers. He has picked up 82 wickets in 77 games at an economy rate of 7.55. He has also been part of 3 IPL winning campaigns.

From his track record, it is evident that Jasprit is a quick learner. He reads the game situations very well. He can outfox some of the best in the business with his pace and variations. Bumrah might be young and may achieve more in his IPL career, but he is already a game-changer of the highest order.
