Jasprit Bumrah: The Yorker King

One of the main strike bowlers on the Indian cricket team, Jasprit Bumrah is a household name. He is one of Indiaâ€™s fastest bowlers currently, clocking in at a speed of 145 kmph on a regular basis. He has made a place for himself in the hearts of millions of cricket fans with his excellent performance in all formats of the game. Bumrah is one of the rare Indian bowlers to have occupied the top spot among bowlers in the ODI and T20 formats. He played a crucial role in helping his side reach the final of the Test Championships last year, where they were beaten by New Zealand.

Bumrah bowls deadly in-swinging yorkers and his unorthodox bowling style makes him unpredictable to the batsmen. He was only 19 years old when he first played for Mumbai in the Indian T20 League in 2013. Since then Bumrah has gone on to win as many as 5 Indian T20 League titles with the Mumbai team and spearheads their bowling. He was one of the four players that were retained by the team ahead of the mega auction held in February 2022. The Mumbai team spent Rs 12 crore to retain him.
