‘God has made him different’- Akash Deep remarks on veteran pacer Jasprit Bumrah

Be it any person from any age group, ace India pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, never fails to impress with what he has to offer with the ball. This is regardless of the format of cricket being played.

Even though Akash Deep is just two international games old, it appears that Bumrah’s wizadry has already captured his heart. He said as much in a recent conversation, drawing a comparison between himself and the species created by the same divine being as god. He also provided insight into the subjects he discusses with the pacer.

“I watch him bowl and we chat all the time. Jasprit Bumrah is very distinct from other people; God has made him so. Bhagwaan ne unhe alag hi banaaya hai. I’ve learnt a lot from him and I take a lot of his advice. I once asked him about his thinking when bowling to a specific batter, and we talked about “mindset.” He gave me insightful advice and addressed my question,” said Akash, who was cited by India Today.

Speaking more on the same subject, Akash further lauded Bumrah and stated unequivocally that, due to his incredible brilliance, it has never been simple to fill Bumrah’s shoes or even come close to being as excellent as him.

“His bowling shows how knowledgeable he is,” the person said. He has incredible reading comprehension of batters before he bowls. It’s difficult to follow in his shoes since he is a brilliant bowler,” Akash continued.

Bumrah suffered a back injury, but it never seemed to affect him because since making his comeback to international cricket in August 2023, the pace bowler has only gotten better. He finished as the World Cup’s fourth-highest wicket-taker in the 50-over format last year, and in February of this year, he topped the ICC rankings for the longest format.
