Jasprit Bumrah has lauded a young kid on the roadside emulating his action even saying that he has a bright future in prospect.

Jasprit Bumrah, who debuted for the Indian Premier League franchise Mumbai Indians way back in 2013, has one of the trickiest actions in cricket at present. He first gained the attention of the cricket fanatics due to his slinging actions despite being questioned by many about whether he could last long. But he has come a long way and has also risen in status by heading India’s pace attack across the three formats.

Jasprit Bumrah Ready To Resume Action For Mumbai Indians In IPL 2020

Jasprit Bumrah is all ready to resume action for Mumbai Indians in the 13th edition of IPL to be held in the United Arab Emirates starting from September 19.

The 26-year-old Jasprit Bumrah was last seen in action in the bilateral series against hosts New Zealand in February 2020 where he was not up to his best, but will certainly try to make amends by contributing to the success of Mumbai Indians by reestablishing his lost form.

Jasprit Bumrah Tweets That Future Looks Bright For Kid Nearly Flawlessly Imitating His Bowling Action

Many videos have surfaced on the internet showing kids trying to execute Jasprit Bumrah’s actions which is one of the most difficult to copy. The run-up, jump, or high-arm action while releasing the ball is extremely challenging but the child on the roadside nearly flawlessly imitated the same which prompted a passerby to stop and take notice by videoing it which became viral on social media.

Jasprit Bumrah saw the video and advised the little star to continue working as his future looked bright.

“The future looks bright, little one! Keep at it,” Bumrah tweeted.

Mumbai Indians led by batsman Indian opener Rohit Sharma will try to win IPL for a record fifth time.

The awkward action of Bumrah was imitated by a child from New Zealand as well during India’s last bilateral series in February 2020 as it is increasingly difficult for batsmen to cope with his action coupled with extra pace and bounce. He, slowly and steadily, has added more arsenal to his bowling and has become a force to reckon with for India by leading their pace attack. However, his action continues to inspire young kids across the globe.
