India vs Bangladesh 1st Test: How Jasprit Bumrah foxed Musfiqur Rahim
Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has long been hailed as one of the most exciting and skilled bowlers in the world. His ability to consistently deliver pinpoint yorkers has made him a nightmare for batsmen, and his recent performance against Bangladesh in the Test series is a testament to his mastery of this deadly delivery.
Bumrah’s inspiration for mastering the yorker came from watching legendary Pakistani fast bowlers Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis. These two bowlers were renowned for their ability to consistently hit the yorker length, and Bumrah was captivated by their skill.
