Although I have played many sports, Bumrah has opened up in a recent interview that this is the main reason why I chose cricket.
Jasprit Bumrah is the crown jewel of Indian fast bowling. Both his elegant yorker and accurate bowling have left the opposition stymied in various matches. He has been the leading bowler for the Indian team in both Test matches and Limited Over matches. His unique bowling action has impressed many. He is also a unique player who can run short distances and bowl at high pace.
Bumrah made his debut in the Indian team in the series against Australia in 2016 and has been making an indispensable contribution ever since. Interviews about him have never come out. So fans also don’t know how his personal life and early cricket career was. In a recent interview, Bumrah spoke openly about all this. He said,
“Not just cricket, I have participated in many sports and performed well in them. But only cricket was close to my heart. I was very clear from my early stages that I wanted to continue traveling in cricket.” said.
Talking about how his family supported him after he chose cricket as his full-time career, he said, “Initially my family didn’t understand anything about me choosing cricket as my full-time career. They were very confused. Because they are always there for study and study work. But my mother always said the same thing and kept saying. “Do only what feels right to you.” called “This is what you must do.” They never forced me to do that. They were just trying not to choose an insecure job.
I was not forced to choose either doctor or engineer. The beginning was a bit difficult. Because my family doesn’t understand what I do. So they had less faith in me. It is that lack of faith that has lifted me to this level. There was an anger inside me when they didn’t believe. I keep telling myself that I will definitely show the world who I am in cricket.” said.
