Jasprit Bumrah, India's premier fast bowler, was recently seen in a video that resurfaced on social media. The clip, which dates back to when Bumrah was starting his journey with the Mumbai Indians, mistakenly labelled him as a "right-arm medium" pacer. This categorisation didn't sit well with Bumrah, who is widely recognised for his express pace and lethal deliveries.
The video, originally aired during one of Bumrah's early appearances in the IPL, recently caught the attention of fans and cricket enthusiasts online. The video introduces Bumrah as a "right-arm medium" bowler, which severely understates his true bowling abilities. Bumrah, renowned for his lightning pace, deceptive bouncers, and lethal yorkers, humorously addressed this mischaracterisation on social media.
Reacting to the resurfaced video, Bumrah humorously objected to the incorrect description by stating, "Galat likha hai (It's written incorrectly)". His comment not only corrected the misinformation but also reminded fans of his true prowess as a fast bowler. Bumrah's statement quickly went viral, with fans applauding his witty response and expressing amazement at how far he has come since his debut.
Bumrah's rise to stardom is due to his sheer determination, commitment and relentless work ethic. Starting off as a lesser-known player in the IPL, he has now solidified his position as India's main pace bowler.

His remarkable capacity to deliver high-speed deliveries with unconventional bowling action and exceptional precision has made him an indispensable asset for the Mumbai Indians and the Indian national cricket team.
Bumrah has played 36 Tests (159 wickets), 89 ODIs (149 wickets), and 70 T20Is (89 wickets) for India so far.
