An Australian kid caught the attention of Jasprit Bumrah after a video went viral on social media of him trying to copy the Indian fast-bowler’s bowling action.
Bumrah was one of the stand-out performers for India in the recently-concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy and his 21 wickets played a more than important role in the visitors winning their first-ever Test series Down Under.
Bumrah won’t be a part of the forthcoming ODI series against Australia and T20I series against New Zealand as the star pacer has been rested by the team management. Mohammed Siraj has replaced Bumrah in the ODI team for the series against Australia, Siddarth Kaul will be a part of the T20I series against the Kiwis.
In a release, the BCCI said: “The Board of Control for Cricket in India has decided to rest India pacer Jasprit Bumrah for the forthcoming ODI series against Australia and the tour in New Zealand.
