Overview

Jasprit Bumrah, also known as the “Virat Kohli” of the Indian bowling line-up, has been a success story for ages. His rise has been meteoric. Considered a white-ball specialist, Bumrah proved his mettle across formats for India with the help of his slingy arm action and natural pace. A tough competitor to the core on the cricket pitch, Bumrah stays away from the media limelight and is a complete family man.

Career Brief

Jasprit Bumrah first made waves for his unorthodox action and then later for his impressive bowling skills. He is one of those rare commodities of Indian cricket, who rose up the ranks in IPL, and then quickly went on to become Team India’s pace spearhead in no time. Such has been Jasprit Bumrah’s rise as a bowler, that he has become an indispensable part of Indian cricket across formats.

From domestic cricket to IPL glory

After consistently performing for Gujarat in domestic cricket, the Mumbai Indians noticed Jasprit Bumrah’s talent and included him in the squad after watching him in the nets. Without a significant change in release, his quick arm action combined with the deceptive slow ball makes it impossible for batsmen to read.

He began his career as a yorker specialist, drawing comparisons to his mentor, Lasith Malinga, who was also known for slinky action and toe crushers. Fortunately for Jasprit Bumrah, the Sri Lankan pace legend mentored him during his time with the Mumbai Indians and taught him the ins and outs of the game.

Jasprit Bumrah received his first national call-up in 2016 after standout performances for the Mumbai Indians for two consecutive seasons.

Soon, he became skipper MS Dhoni’s go-to man in the death overs and solved one of Indian cricket’s biggest problems—the slog overs issue. He emerged as the last-over specialist for India and had a decent outing in the 2017 Champions Trophy, where he bagged 4 wickets from 5 matches in England.

When did Jasprit Bumrah make his Test debut?

Jasprit Bumrah was introduced to red-ball cricket in January 2018 after outstanding performances in ODIs and T20Is.

On a high in the 2019 ODI World Cup

Struggle with injuries

Jasprit Bumrah suffered a number of injuries following the 2019 World Cup, the most notable of which was a back stress fracture. The injury kept Bumrah out of action for six months, and the injury resurfaced towards the middle of 2022, forcing him to miss the T20 World Cup in Australia.

The Journey

Jasprit Bumrah has been a standout for Team India over the last six years. If fit, he is a must-have in the starting XI. Bumrah has been an invaluable asset to the team, with his impeccable toe-crushing and match-winning abilities. With the World Cup in 2023 in mind, India will look to use Bumrah sparingly in order to win big trophies. Bumrah’s workload has been a source of contention in recent years. If Bumrah can stay healthy, there aren’t many batters who want to face him. He has already taken over 100 wickets in Tests and ODIs, and it would be a letdown if he did not take over 300 wickets across all formats.
