Bumrah on Sunday said common belief that he burst onto the scene from the Indian Premier League (IPL) is a “myth”, stressing on his domestic performances as being the key reason for his promotion to the top level and why budding cricketers today need to respect that.
“That I made it to the Indian team by my performances in the IPL is a myth. 2013 is when I came into the IPL (for Mumbai Indians) then 2013, 2014, 2015 I was not playing regularly. I did well in (Vijay) Hazare and in domestic circuit then I came into the Indian team in 2016,” said the right-arm pacer in an Instagram live session with Yuvraj Singh as quoted by IANS.
The Gujarat-born speedster made his ODI and T20I debut in 2016 with a Test call-up coming in 2018. The 26-year old is now regarded as one of the best fast bowlers in the business with 104 wickets in 64 ODIs and 68 scalps in just 14 Test matches.
