An Australian kid caught the attention of Jasprit Bumrah after a video went viral on social media of him trying to imitate the Indian fast-bowler’s bowling action.
Bumrah was the leading wicket-taker for India in the recently-concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy and his 21 wickets played a major role in the visitors winning their first-ever Test series Down Under.
A cricket fan user posted the video on Twitter with the young kid trying to imitate Bumrah’s bowling action. He wrote: “@bhogleharsha @Jaspritbumrah93 The only problem from your great series win may be the next generation of Aussie cricketers you have inspired!”
