Mastering new tactics is the key to success, says Jasprit Bumrah

Young Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah bowled a tremendous spell against the Sri Lankans in the 3rd One Day International at Pallekele. The bowler rattled the Sri Lankan line up with as he picked up his first 5-wicket haul in the coloured jersey conceding just 27 runs from his 10 overs. His brilliant economy of 2.70 gives us a perfect hint of his sheer talent which will definitely come good for India in the future.

However, the Mumbai Indians bowler believes that one needs to master new tactics to perform well throughout the game. According to Bumrah, the tactics need to taken up and practiced in the net sessions that take place ahead of the game.

What Bumrah had to say:

“Once a person watches one’s videos and starts to plan for the game, they know what to expect from one’s bowling. So one have to keep evolving according to situation, I think one need to adapt because If you are just a one trick pony then that won’t work for long period of time,” Japrit Bumrah told reporters.

Jasprit Bumrah mentioned that a bowler needs to have more than one or two tricks up his sleeve to be successful in different types of wickets. He also mentioned that it is important to take the help of experienced players and use them to improve yourself. “Everything which we develop requires practice because without practice nothing is possible. For developing new things practice in the net is very important,” he added.

“As a bowler one constantly need to learn new thing. That is my main aim all the time. This is my first visit to Sri Lanka, I never played here so it’s always a challenge to play in a different condition,” he said.

Speaking about the match against Sri Lanka, Bumrah stated “Over this wicket when we started the ball was seaming a bit. So we were trying to use that for our advantage and tried to do good result from the wicket. I was good so it worked in our favour,”

Bumrah showered praise on coach Ravi Shastri for supporting him and taking the pressure away from him. “He asked me to treat it like a normal Ranjit trophy game, because if one play for India and take extra pressure that won’t help. One won’t be able to express oneself so that thing which he said in the first match is till with me and I shall try to carry it forward,” he concluded.
