Mumbai Indians pace sensation Jasprit Bumrah said bowling is an art in the shortest format of the game. Jasprit Bumrah said that it’s important not to be a one-trick pony.
In a match against Royal Challengers Bangaluru, Jasprit Bumrah became the first bowler to pick up a five-wicket haul against Royal Challengers Bangaluru, and he became the fourth pacer in the history of the IPL to be picked to fifer in the IPL.
Jasprit Bumrah revealed that he would take lessons from his bad days and would try to improve his bowling on a daily basis by watching videos.
Jasprit Bumrah said, “In this format, it is very harsh for the bowlers. I try to not be a one-trick pony; I have worked on this early in my career.”
“People start to line you up. I want to have different skills. Bowling is tough because you will have to take a beating. When things have not worked out for me the next day, I see the videos and analyze what did not work.”
Jasprit Bumrah further added, “Preparation is always the key. It’s important to keep pushing yourself before a game. It is not a one-trick pony. You don’t always have to bowl a yorker; sometimes you bowl a yorker, a short ball. There is no ego in this format. You can bowl at 145 kph, but sometimes it is important to bowl slower balls.”
