Beginning of Jasprit Bumrahʼs Cricket Career

Bumrah surprised the selectors with his unorthodox bowling action at the Gujarat Cricket Association’s Under-19 district selection trials. After that, he made his T20 debut for Gujarat against Maharashtra in the 2012-13 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. His incredible performance in the final helped his team win the tournament after defeating Punjab. In 2013, the then-head coach of Mumbai Indians spotted Bumrah’s talent and asked him to play for MI. He was signed to MI at the age of 19 and instantly impressed on his IPL debut.

Jasprit Bumrah made his ODI debut for the national team against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground on January 23, 2016 where he clinched 2 wickets and conceded 40 runs. Just 3 days later on January 26, he made his T20I debut against the same opposition at the Adelaide Oval. He went an impressive 3 wickets for 23 runs in that match. His test breakthrough came on January 5, 2018 against South Africa at Cape Town where he took 4 wickets. Came with high expectations and delivered on all three of his international debuts.

India A & Youth Breakthrough

Bumrah’s debut for his first-class cricket was for Gujarat against Vidarbha in October 2013 where he delivered a spectacular performance by taking 7 wickets. He also won the 2015-16 Vijay Hazare Trophy playing for Gujarat, clinching 5 wickets in the final against Delhi.

Bumrah was selected for the India A team after his antics in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and it placed him directly under the Indian legend Rahul Dravid. He first played against Australia A in the 2015 India A tour of Australia, where he delivered terrific bowling performances, thanks to his unconventional and unique bowling style. It was also in this series where he scored his first ever first-class half-century, displaying his sagacity with the bat as well. His India A performances directly put him into the senior team.

Jasprit Bumrahʼs Bowling Style & Skillset

Unorthodox Action & Yorkers

Bumrah is renowned for his unorthodox bowling approach and that mostly comes from his mechanics. He takes a short stuttering run-up unlike other fast bowlers with a long run up to generate pace. His hyperextended arm is almost vertical prior to releasing the ball, and he also performs minimal elbow action. It’s almost as if he flicks the ball with late seam movement and his arm’s action generates most of the ball’s pace. His bowling often confuses batters who have, therefore, less time to react to his deliveries.

His ability to deliver inch-perfect yorkers is what makes such a feared opponent. Since his release point is unconventional, batters can’t exactly predict the path of the ball coming towards them. He also releases the ball just a tad bit late which allows him to make precise throws. He is arguably one of the best death over specialists of all time, especially given his ability to perform under pressure. He can bowl precise yorkers one after the other, all over 140 kmph, while in the death overs or Super Overs. His incredible prowess combined with the fact that he doesn’t overuse yorkers is what makes him so unpredictable and so deadly.

Pace, Line & Length

Bumrah’s pace consistently clocks in around 140-145 kmph, but he is also known for delivering slower balls to catch batsmen off guard. He can also bowl as quick as 150 kmph. In white-ball cricket, he usually balls at good length during the early overs and mostly full-length yorkers during the death overs. In Test cricket, he prefers the off-stump to 4th stump channel with an upright seam.

He holds excellent bowling averages across all three formats with 19.4 in Tests, 23.55 in ODIs and 17.74 in T20s.

IPL & Franchise Career

Mumbai Indians MI Highlights

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is where Bumrah found his big breakthrough back in 2013 at the age of just 19. After MI signed him, he debuted against RCB and clean bowled Virat Kohli in the very first over. Talk about making a statement! His IPL record speaks for itself. He garnered 182 wickets in 143 matches with an average of only 21.79. He has won five titles with Mumbai Indians in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. He also boasts one of the best death over economy rates in the history of the competition. For MI he has played under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma and now under Hardik Pandya.
