Jasprit Bumrah discloses his bowling mantra for perfect yorker--watch video

Indian pace sensation Jasprit Bumrah, who displayed a match winning performance with the ball against Bangladesh in a World Cup 2019 league match, disclosed the secret behind his consistency in bowling yorkers.

At one point of the match, india looked like they were in trouble when Bangladesh needed 36 runs of the last three overs with Mohammad Saifuddin still batting. Skipper Virat Kohli than got his key bowler Jasprit Bhumrah back on attack in the 47th over. Jasprit Bumrah like always delivered and took Bangladesh’s last two wickets.

After India beat Bangladesh by 28 runs at Edgbaston, Jasprit Bhumrah revealed that his accuracy with the yorkers is all about working hard during the parctice.

"I do it again and again and again in the nets. So the more you do it, you get decent at it. You can't master it," said Bumrah.

"You are still trying to get better at it, yeah. It's all about repetition. It's like any other ball."

The world’s top ranked bowler constantly practises yorkers during the training sessions, the net is his laboratory, where he does match simulations and perfects his skills.

"Whenever I practice in the nets, I practice each and every situation, be it with the new ball, be it with the old ball, bowling at the death," he said.

"So if I have ticked all of the boxes in the net, it's then all about execution (in the match) and keeping a clear head. If the work ethic is good, I think the execution feels much easier in the game," he added.

So is there any batsmen who has an answer to his yorkers?

"I've not really given it a thought. I just focus on the team goal whenever I'm bowling," he replied.

"I'm not thinking who's playing me well. I just focus on how I can contribute to the team," Bumrah added.

When asked if he would consider being rested against Sri Lanka, now that India have made it to the last four, the answer was no.

"This is my first World Cup, so I want to play as many games as possible. I don't think I've become an experienced player that I could say I don't want to play some games," said Bumrah, who despite being indispensable in this current India set-up, doesn't take things for granted.

"Yeah, I always look forward to playing, and the more number of matches you play, you enjoy more," he insisted, giving enough indications that given a choice, he won't like to rest against Sri Lanka in the last league game at Leeds.
