Jasprit Bumrah acknowledges a child imitating his bowling action on the streets 

In a country where most kids want to grow up to become a batsman, star India bowler Jasprit Bumrah is inspiring children to take up bowling. Not just in India, but budding cricketers from around the world are imitating the pacer’s unique bowling action.

Last year, Jasprit Bumrah had reacted to a clip of an Australian boy copying his bowling action. And on Wednesday, the star quick acknowledged yet another video of a kid imitating his bowling style.

The video shows the child bowling on the street and imitating Jasprit Bumrah like a pro. His action is difficult to imitate because of the unique run-up and the high-arm action.

On coming across the video, Jasprit Bumrah tweeted: “The future looks bright, little one! Keep at it.”

Jasprit Bumrah is one of the few bowlers in the world who can bowl in all three formats. After making his debut in 2016 as a white-ball specialist, the fast bowler became a regular in the Test team in no time.

The Mumbai Indians pacer has a five-wicket haul in four overseas nations - South Africa, West Indies, England and Australia. Apart from that, he also has a hat-trick against the Windies.
