In an Indian team desperately searching for a death overs' bowler, Jasprit Bumrah came to the fore
through the Indian Premier League, as a boon for cricket in the country. The scantily-built pacer from
Gujarat has managed to perfect the art of bowling inch-perfect yorkers as an understudy to Lasith
Malinga as a part of the Mumbai Indians franchise and has grown into an indispensable asset for the
Indian team in the limited-overs format.
Having been a consistent performer in the domestic circuit, Bumrah has been a menace to the batsmen
at the Ranji level since his debut. His quick-arm action has made his variations almost indiscernible -
starting from his slower deliveries to his reverse-swinging yorkers at the death. An injury kept him out
of action for a while in the 2014/15 seasons but he returned and continued to perform unaffected by the
injury break. A national call-up seemed to be just around the corner.
The inevitable call came at last as Bumrah travelled with the Indian team to Australia as an injury-
replacement for Mohammad Shami, eventually making his debut in the dead rubber at the Sydney
Cricket Ground. He has delivered consistent performances in coloured clothing and has since become
an irreplaceable asset for his captain, consistently holding his nerve and becoming MS Dhoni's bowling
counterpart as a last-over specialist for India. He went on to perform commendably for a young fast
bowler in India's next world events - the ICC Champions' Trophy in 2017, where he only took 4 wickets
in 5 matches, but conceded at an economy rate of just 5 runs an over, particularly impressive for a death
overs' specialist.
Only one question remained. Can Bumrah become an effective Test bowler? He has shown appetite and
ability for red-ball cricket, bowling Gujarat to their maiden Ranji Trophy title, in 2016-17. However, the
Kookaburra ball posed a whole new challenge. He was handed the elusive Test cap in January 2018 in
South Africa, and showed his adaptability with his skiddy nippers and unpredictable scrambled-
seamers, proving to be the find of the tour for India - in other words, a good start in Tests for the
versatile Bumrah.
In the season to follow, Bumrah's reputation would grow staggeringly as he would take Test cricket by
storm in just his first year in whites. With sensational performances in England and Australia, he broke
the record for the most wickets taken in overseas Tests by an Indian bowler in a single year.
IPL through the years
One of the many things the IPL can boast of is being a feeder system of emerging talent. It provides a
platform for unheard players to make themselves known, to throw their hat in the ring as far as national
reckoning goes. And no one exemplifies this better than Jasprit Bumrah, probably the IPL's biggest gift
to Indian cricket.
Bumrah built his reputation by being different. A short run-up followed by a snappy bowling action
withis arms rigid as bones, where it seems like everything could go wrong, right up until the point when
it doesn't. His reliability is what surprisingly started to stand out amid the mayhem of the IPL. Under the
guidance of a death-bowling expert like Lasith Malinga, Bumrah flourished. He made his debut in the
2013 edition of the competition, where he barely got much game time, but would quickly go on to
become a regular in the MI playing eleven in the seasons to follow, surprising batsmen with the pace he
generated off his wrist.
The Indian T20 League has been the making of many promising young players and Jasprit
Bumrah is one of them. Featuring for Mumbai, Bumrah first caught the eye with an unusual
bowling action. Blessed with the ability to bowl yorkers and get the steep bounce off the pitch,
the Gujarat pacer has arguably become India’s best bowler in limited-overs cricket since
making his international debut.
Jasprit made his T20 debut against Maharashtra in the 2012-13 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and
helped Gujarat clinch the title with his Man of the Match performance. After impressing in his
debut Indian T20 league season for the Mumbai-based franchise, in the subsequent year, he
was again bought by Mumbai for a whopping 1.2 crores.
Bumrah's unusual angle with which he bowls made him a household name in the T20s. The
Indian selectors took notice of it and his skills, control, and accuracy got him to the flight to
Australia in 2016 for the T20I series. When Mohammed Shami got injured, Bumrah was given
the opportunity to make his ODI debut in Sydney before the T20Is. After an impressive outing
there, he was given a place in the starting XI for the T20Is and he didn't disappoint as he took
six wickets in a Kangaroo-whitewash. After great success during the Australian tour, it came
as no surprise when Bumrah soon became the number two ranked T20I bowler in the world.
He played Asia Cup and T20I World Cup as well in the same year, spearheading the pace
attack and cementing his place.
His control in the death overs meant that the Indian selectors showed faith in him for the 2017
ICC Champions Trophy also. Though he bowled a no-ball on a wicket delivery to the eventual
centurion Fakhar Zaman, he didn't let that setback worry him much. Proving his mantle time
and again, Bumrah has been the go-to bowler for Virat Kohli in the shorter formats and
eventually, in the Tests as well. During his debut tour of South Africa, in only his third match,
he took a fifer and convinced everyone of his potential in the longest format too.
