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.

On Saturday, a Twitter user shared a gif which showed an elderly woman imitating Bumrah’s bowling style. “Just like the rest of us, the mothership was so impressed with Bumrah’s performance in the world cup, that she decided to mimic his run-up,” Shanta Sakkubai wrote in the caption.


The 21-year-old pacer was extremely impressed with the video and he himself shared the video on Twitter and wrote, “This made my day.”


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!”
