England pacer Mark Wood, who's among the quickest bowlers currently, wants to steal a superpower from India speedster Jasprit Bumrah. He also shared his plan to take Bumrah's power and revealed the inspiration is from the Hollywood movie 'Space Jump'.

Wood featured in a social media video for ICC and the pacer was asked to name a rival cricketer whose superpower he would like to steal. "If you could steal a skill from your rival, who would it be and what skill would it be?", he was asked.

Responding to the question, the Englishman replied, "Bumrah. Bowling 90 miles an hour in five steps with a perfect yorker."

When further asked how would he steal, Wood said, "I would probably get something like in the movie Space Jump. Instead of getting a basketball, I would get a cricket ball. Suck all the energy out of him and then I get the superpower."

"@mawood33 taking Sci-Fi to a whole new level  @jaspritb1's reaction though," wrote ICC on Instagram while sharing the clip.

England have qualified for the semi-finals after winning four out of five Super 12 matches in the T20 World Cup 2021. They will face New Zealand in the semi-final on Wednesday (November 10).
