Jasprit Bumrah, currently the no.1 ODI bowler, was in the form of his life with the ball in India’s outing to England and Wales for the World Cup. Be it his toe-crushing yorkers or intimidating bouncers, the batsmen had no clue to counter Bumrah’s fury.
Bumrah’s unorthodox bowling action and pace, which he generates with a short run-up, has been imitated by many youngsters. But nowadays, even the old ones cannot stop themselves from copying the Indian speedster.

The right-arm bowling spearhead took 18 wickets in the nine matches he played at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in England and Wales.
India, who were the table-toppers, were going flawlessly in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 until they lost their semifinal match to New Zealand and got out of the tournament.
After India’s exit from the World Cup, Bumrah extended gratitude to all the fans for their support to Team India and tweeted: “A big thank you to all my team members, our coaches, support staff, our families and most importantly to all the undying support from all of you! We gave it everything we had!”
