The cricketers in the IPL 2021 share a great camaraderie and it is often seen whenever teams are facing each other in the tournament. Some of the cricketers pass time and make the environment light by copying bowling actions.
In a video some time back, Rajasthan Royals’ Shreyas Gopal was seen imitating the bowling actions of Jasprit Bumrah, Harbhajan Singh, and R Ashwin. In the video, Gopal had also bragged that he has shown his imitation of Bumrah’s action to the bowler himself and received praise for the same.
Recently, before the start of the match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), both Shreyas Gopal and Jasprit Bumrah were seen in an animated conversation about his bowling action.
Gopal was showing his copy of Bumrah’s action, while Bumrah was explaining the intricacies of his action to Gopal. Later, Bumrah is seen showing Gopal his copy of Anil Kumble’s jumping and bouncing action.
Bumrah nails the approach to the crease, which Kumble made famous as he skipped and hopped to the bowling crease and bamboozled the batsmen.
Both Bumrah and Gopal had a hearty laugh while copying the actions.
Here is the video:
