Jasprit Bumrah became a household name in the world of cricket ever since he had made his India debut. He managed to prove his worth in international cricket with his consistent performances in both white-ball and red-ball cricket. Virat Kohli has been an ardent supporter of the bowler and has always backed him, however, as Parthiv Patel recalls, this was not the case when Virat first heard of Bumrah.

Jasprit Bumrah earned a name for himself in a short span of time which is a testament to his hard work and determination. He is amongst the most fearsome bowlers of the present time in international cricket and his performance speaks volumes about it. Contrary to his present opinion of Bumrah, Virat Kohli wasn’t open to considering Bumrah as Parthiv Patel reveals during the conversation on Cricbuzz.

Parthiv Patel is a former RCB player who was with the team for quite a long period of time. As per the quotes in Cricbuzz, he recalled, “In 2014, when I was at RCB, I told Kohli there’s this bowler named Bumrah. Have a look at him. Virat replied saying ‘Chhor na yaar, Ye Bumrah-Vumrah kya karenge?’ (Leave it. What will such players do?).”

This was quite a revelation by the former RCB and Indian cricketer. Since then, Jasprit Bumrah has only witnessed improvements in his career and has become one of the most dangerous bowlers to face.
