 "The junior bowler praised Bumrah, saying ‘He is a unique gift from God to us…’")
India had definitely lost the Test series against Australia but Jasprit Bumrah bowled brilliantly there and surprised the Australian batsmen with his performance. This tour was also good for Akash Deep. He has praised Jasprit Bumrah a lot. Akash Deep has said that Jasprit Bumrah is a special person given by God.
Akash Deep said, “It feels great when the best bowler in the world is bowling with you. But the responsibility of supporting him in the game is also very big. Besides, you are in the best position to watch such a talented player and know what he is doing with the ball. So it’s like a motivation for me to keep helping the team.
Akashdeep added, “I don’t think you can become like Jasprit Bumrah by trying some things. He is a separate person given by God. A great bowler who is perfect in every aspect. Not every bowler is like that, nor can you learn all the strategies from him. But what you can understand are technical things, like how to put pressure on opponents.
Akashdeep concluded, “I played only 5 Tests before I went to Australia and I didn’t get a chance to bowl many overs, because we have world-class spinners who do very well at home. So, I knew I would only get a chance to play one spell at most. It was my first overseas tour and also my first experience of bowling with a Kookaburra ball.”
