India pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been bowling exceptionally well ever since his comeback to international cricket following the back surgery.

The right-arm quick played an instrumental role in India’s Asia Cup 2023 triumph and then made the batters dance to his tunes in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup last year.

Bumrah then carried on his brilliance to Test cricket on the tour of South Africa and in the home series against England. He was among the leading wicket-takers in IPL 2024, claiming 20 scalps in 13 matches at an economy rate of 6.48.

Now, Bumrah is seen as a major key in India's quest for a second ICC Men's T20 World Cup title in the USA and West Indies this month.

Days before the start of India’s T20 World Cup campaign, Jasprit Bumrah opened up on his success mantra post comeback from injury.

“Since I have come back from my injury, I have only focused on enjoying the game as much as I can. Because (certain) things will go my way. (Certain) things will not go my way,” Bumrah told ICC.

“All of these things will be a part of my process. So I have just realised that I started playing this sport. Because I love this sport.

“And I will focus on that rather than the end result. So in that aspect you reduce your pressure. And you enjoy the sport. When you focus on those things. Rather than the things you cannot control,” he added.

Bumrah is considered as one of the finest exponents of producing toe-crushing yorkers, capable of breaching through any batter’s defence in no time.

Talking about his wicket-taking option, the 30-year-old explained how he developed the yorker while playing tennis-ball cricket in childhood.

“So I played a lot of tennis-ball, rubber-ball cricket when I was growing up,” Bumrah said. “I used to play a lot with my friends in summer camps. And on summer vacations. Or whenever you used to get a lot of time.

“So when I was a kid, I used to think that this is the only way to get wickets. Because I was a fan of fast bowling. I was really fascinated by what I saw on the television. So I tried to replicate that.”

Bumrah further stated that repeated practice has been the key to his yorker prowess.

“Is it (tennis-ball cricket) a secret (to bowling yorkers) or not? I don't know," he remarked. “But repetition surely is. Because I have kept this delivery. I still practice it. I keep on practicing it. Because every skill that you develop, you have to practice it and make it stronger. So I think a combination of both would be the answer.”

Jasprit Bumrah is the senior-most pacer in India’s T20 World Cup squad. He will be assisted by the likes of Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya during the marquee event.

The pace spearhead prefers to keep a simple communication channel with his younger teammates.

“You don't try to over-teach. That is something that I have learned,” Bumrah said. “Because whenever people need help, I let them have their own questions. Or if they need my help. Because you don't want to give too much information.”

“It's not like they have just been lucky and they land here. So that is what I try to do. I do pass on certain information that I have gained over from my experience," he added.

“But I don't try to burden them with (over) information. Because that is a part of the journey as well. That you have to find your own ways and solutions.”

India, slotted in Group A alongside arch-rivals Pakistan, USA, Canada and Ireland, will begin their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against Ireland in New York on June 5.
