Jasprit Bumrah's bowling action reproduced by 13-year-old youngster in Hong Kong: see video
Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah is arguably the world’s best bowler in white-ball cricket so it comes as no surprise that he is a role model to many budding cricketers around the globe. Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling action is unique and copying it would be a difficult job to do.
Hong Kong cricket posted a video on their official Twitter account where a young pacer in an Under-13 cricket league tried to replicate Bumrah’s bowling action. Hong Cricket cricket posted it with a question: Spotted in the U-13s League today - another interesting bowling action. Does this remind you of somebody?
Hong Kong cricket answered their own question by tagging Jasprit Bumrah and BCCI in the post.
