Jasprit Bumrah is having an amazing tour of Australia! After taking eight wickets in Perth, he got 4 wickets in the first innings of the day-night Test match in Adelaide while using the pink ball. Bumrah’s great performance has helped India take a 1-0 lead in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and his skills are key to India’s chances in the series.
Glenn McGrath, a famous former Australian bowler, praised Bumrah for how he changed his bowling style to become one of the best players today. During a broadcast, McGrath shared, “I saw Jasprit when he was younger. He bowled quickly but had a different technique. He had a short run-up and would jump out a lot.”
McGrath suggested that Bumrah should use a longer run-up, but Bumrah struggled at first. However, after facing a knee problem, he worked hard to change his technique. Now, he runs straight through the crease, which helps him bowl faster and better. Bumrah has taken 183 Test wickets with an incredible average of 19.99.
McGrath emphasized that Bumrah’s bowling is unique and that his style can’t be taught easily. “He has a smooth run-up, and at the end, he powers through to bowl in the right areas,” McGrath explained. He also mentioned that Bumrah is flexible in his joints and has excellent control over the ball, which moves in different directions.
In the Adelaide Test, Bumrah took 4 wickets, including both opening batsmen and the important wicket of Steven Smith. However, he experienced a groin problem during his spell, which raised concerns for Indian fans about his condition for this match and the rest of the series.
