New Delhi: An old clip of Jasprit Bumrah has gone viral on social media where he can be seen raising an objection to being referred to as a ‘medium pacer’. The video is from Bumrah’s initial days at his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Mumbai Indians (MI). The ace pacer was one of the finds of the MI scouts, who spotted him at a young age and roped in him.
Bumrah is arguably one of the best fast bowlers in the world at the moment and has been delivering consistently for the Indian team across formats. He played an instrumental role in helping India win the T20 World Cup 2024 earlier this year and was named the Player of the Tournament for his bowling heroics.
Known for hi blistering pace and accuracy, Bumrah has been troubling the best of the batters in the world ever since the start of his international career. Mumbai Indians recently shared an old clip of a young Bumrah, where the pacer was seen correcting his role. Mentioned as ‘right-arm medium’ in the team sheet, Bumrah was quick to correct it as he said it should be ‘right-arm fast’.
“Yeh galat likha hai (it’s written wrong). Right-arm medium nahi hai na, right-arm fast hai (it shouldn’t be right-arm medium, it should be right-arm fast),” Bumrah can be heard saying in the video shared by MI.
