Jasprit Bumrah Praises Rohit Sharma’s Leadership, Reflects on Growth as a Bowler
Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has heaped praise on Rohit Sharma’s leadership skills, highlighting the strong bond and understanding they have developed over the years.
Bumrah, who has played under Rohit’s captaincy in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Indian national team, recalled his early days with the Mumbai Indians, where he relied heavily on Rohit to set the field placements for him. However, over time, he realized the importance of becoming more self-reliant and started learning the craft himself.
“When I came into cricket, I didn’t know a lot – when I started playing IPL – I used to go and tell Rohit Sharma you set the field, I don’t know. I am going to bowl this ball, you set the field & I trust you, whatever the field right you set the field’ – then slowly I realised I can’t be overly dependent on others then I started learning the craft,” Bumrah told Indian Express.
Bumrah’s growth as a bowler has been remarkable, and he is now considered one of the best in all three formats of the game. His stellar performance at the T20 World Cup, where he was named Player of the Tournament, further cemented his status.
Bumrah’s ability to adapt and learn has been a key factor in his success. He has worked tirelessly to improve his skills and has become a more complete bowler. His ability to bowl with pace, accuracy, and control makes him a formidable opponent for any batsman.
Bumrah’s admiration for Rohit’s leadership is a testament to the strong relationship they have built over the years. Rohit’s ability to inspire and motivate his players has been a key factor in India’s success under his captaincy.
