Bumrah imitates bowling action of another bowler, possibly Wasim Akram | MI TwitterJasprit Bumrah is one of the most naturally gifted fast bowlers India has found in many years. His action and run-up might seem to be awkward but have led to him becoming the spearhead of the Indian fast bowling attack in no time.

Currently, Bumrah is in the UAE with the Mumbai Indians’ franchise, as they prepare to defend their IPL title in the 13th edition of the tournament, which begins from September 19 onwards. They will face last year’s finalists, Chennai Super Kings in the tournament opener in Abu Dhabi.

MI team has been practicing hard with all of their players sweating it out in the nets. Bumrah has been doing his thing as well, but recently, MI Twitter shared a video of the fast bowler goofing around a bit.

With the confirmation that Lasith Malinga will not play in the IPL 2020, Jasprit Bumrah becomes an important entity for the MI, if they wish to defend their title and become only the second team after CSK to win back-to-back IPL trophies.

Mumbai Indians replaced Malinga with Australian pacer James Pattinson and they will be looking forward to restarting their rivalry with MS Dhoni’s CSK from September 19 onwards.
