RCB Net Bowler Mukesh Kumar Stuns Fans with Jasprit Bumrah-Like Action
Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s net bowler, Mukesh Kumar, has become an internet sensation after a video of his uncanny resemblance to Indian cricket star Jasprit Bumrah went viral on social media. Kumar’s bowling action is strikingly similar to Bumrah’s, leaving fans in awe of the young bowler’s potential.
Kumar, who played for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2022, was seen bowling at the nets with an action that perfectly mirrored Bumrah’s. Fans were quick to notice the similarities and expressed their excitement for Kumar’s future prospects.
Despite RCB’s struggles in IPL 2024, the team has kept their playoff hopes alive with recent victories. Virat Kohli has been their standout performer with the bat, providing crucial support to Will Jacks, who scored a sensational century against Gujarat Titans.
After the match, Kohli hit back at critics who questioned his strike rate, despite being the tournament’s leading run-scorer. “For me, it’s about winning games for the team,” Kohli said. “People can talk about their assumptions, but those who have played the game know what’s happening.”
Kumar’s emergence as a potential Bumrah-like bowler has added another layer of intrigue to the IPL 2024 season. With his impressive action and the support of RCB, Kumar could be poised for a breakout performance in the coming matches.
