"Ab wicket chahiye" (we need a wicket now), and Rohit Sharma hands over the ball to Jasprit Bumrah - A sight which we all are used to these days. We all as viewers witness Bumrah's magical spells and applaud it but here's what makes him so special -
Decoding Jasprit Bumrah's Bowling Supremacy
His Bowling Action - We are aware that Bumrah has a very unorthodox action which makes him difficult to read as an opposition batter. The lack of bowlers with an action similar to Bumrah makes it even more difficult for the batter to practice and get accustomed to his unusual release point.
His Variations - A bowler who can bowl at 140+ kmph regularly also has a lot of other options to deceive the batter. Bumrah's control on off-cutters, leg-cutters, slower ones, bouncers, inswingers and outswingers is unparallelable.
His Yorkers - Bumrah's mastery in bowling yorkers whether it's with a new ball or an old one is second to none and serves as an important ingredient of his death-over prowess.
His Mindset - When we talk about the international-level, our focus shifts from skillset to mindset. Bumrah's ability to think as a batter while bowling adds to his multi-faceted expertise as a bowler.
His Execution of skills - Sometimes having many arrows in your quiver results in confusion about its usage but Bumrah's understanding of the game and perfection in executing the plans makes him the captain's go-to bowler.
You must have heard that cricket is a batter's game but bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah makes this sport even more entertaining for the viewers (but a nightmare for the batters).
