When the premier Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah made himself valuable in international cricket, he was known for having a slightly different bowling action along with accuracy in his bowling. Now, imagine Jasprit Bumrah bowling to a batsman in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 with further variations in his bowling action? That would be a nightmare for the opposition.
In a video posted by the Mumbai Indians (MI) on Twitter, the bowler can be seen trying out not one or two, but six different bowling styles, during a net session in the UAE. The six bowling actions are actually of former as well as current bowlers, and the franchise had posted a video of the same captioning it as ‘Can you guess all 6 bowlers Boom is trying to imitate?’

The post has generated a significant amount of responses with most fans guessing: Munaf Patel, Glenn McGrath, Mitchell Starc, Kedar Jadhav, Shreyas Gopal, and Anil Kumble in the respective order. But then again, there were some other fans who have guessed Lasith Malinga, Shane Warne, and so on.
