Jasprit Bumrah’s instantaneous rise in Indian cricket has not only him made the premier pacer of the team but also the leading bowler in the world-renowned bowling club of fab four. With someone who had merely started with limited-overs cricket, Test cricket seemed to be impenetrable for Bumrah.

However the speedster, then, well inside his first two years, proficiently made a dazzling transition by debuting in South Africa. Now precisely in the white-ball format, where Bumrah has resolved India’s death bowling woes, the speedster has a profusion of 108 ODI wickets from his 67 ODIs at a fantastic economy of 4.66.

In the shortest format where he has a much valiant role, Bumrah from his 49 T20Is has taken 59 wickets at a tightening economy of 6.67. While Bumrah’s wizardry in the limited-overs cricket is well-adulated, the cricketer actually also has some eye-catching numbers in the longest format. From his 39 innings in Test cricket, Bumrah has strenuously scalped 83 wickets that also includes his five wondrous five-wicket hauls.

In general, just like most booming pacers Bumrah also has a similar armoury where he conventionally can move the ball in both ways, can also effectively reverse swing it along with possessing a spicy bouncer and a deadly yorker.

But what really significantly distinguishes him is his astute mind and completely unorthodox action. Overall, while it is true that his esteemed bowling action is his superlative weaponry, in reality, the speedster has left no stone unturned to establish himself as the current nonpareil pacer of the game.
