Jasprit Bumrah: The ‘Professor’ of Fast Bowling, Impresses with Exceptional Performance
Former West Indies pacer Ian Bishop has hailed Jasprit Bumrah as a “professor” of fast bowling, praising his exceptional knowledge, articulation, and ability to swing the ball in both directions. Bishop believes Bumrah’s skills make him an ideal mentor for aspiring seam bowlers.
In a recent match against Punjab Kings, Bumrah showcased his mastery with a four-over spell of 3 for 21, dismissing Sam Curran, Rilee Rossouw, and Shashank Singh. His performance, along with Gerald Coetzee’s 3/32, helped Mumbai Indians restrict Punjab Kings to 183 in their run-chase, despite a valiant fightback from Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank.
Bumrah’s outstanding performance earned him the ‘Player of the Match’ award and propelled him to the top of the Purple Cap table, with 13 wickets from seven matches in this IPL season.
Bishop, impressed by Bumrah’s knowledge and communication skills, suggested that he should hold bowling lectures for young aspiring seam bowlers across the country. He believes that Bumrah’s insights and expertise would be invaluable for the development of future fast bowlers.
Bumrah’s ability to swing the ball both ways, combined with his accuracy and control, makes him a formidable opponent. He has consistently been one of the most effective bowlers in the IPL, and his performance against Punjab Kings is a testament to his exceptional skills.
As the IPL season progresses, Bumrah will be a key player for Mumbai Indians, who will be looking to defend their title. His ability to take wickets and control the run rate will be crucial to their success.
