Team India pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah suggested children not copy his complicated and unconventional bowling action despite it yielding incredible success after Day 2 of the ongoing first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai as well. However, Bumrah made headlines over the past few years with his outstanding bowling across formats as well, resulting in many trying to replicate his action. He also returned to action with the ball after an extended break since the 2024 T20 World Cup on Friday, September 20 and Bumrah picked up figures of 4/50 in 11 overs.

While talking on this, Bumrah responded to the broadcasters after play on Day 2: “I don’t know how to react to that. But you know, when I was a kid, I used to. I was a fan of fast bowling. I learned through watching the television. I fell in love with the sport by that. Now, sometimes when I see children trying to copy my action, I don’t recommend it. But you know, sometimes it is what it is. You get inspired by something and you try and find your own way. I’m very happy to create an impact whenever I can.”

However, during his spell, Jasprit Bumrah also reached the 400-wicket mark in international cricket as well, becoming the third-fastest Indian pacer to the landmark behind Kapil Dev and Mohammed Shami as well.

“I try to give my absolute best. Other than that, whatever is the narrative. I don’t control the narrative. I don’t go too high with the praises. I don’t go too low, you know when challenges come my way. So I try to focus on what I can do, and I try to give my absolute best. I wanted to play for India, and he’s (Parthiv Patel) seen my journey and you know how hard we work as a group. So playing for India. No complaints. And I want to give my best for as long as I can,” Jasprit Bumrah concluded.
