Jasprit Bumrah Reveals The Mantra Behind His Success

It is very hard to see Jasprit Bumrah having a chat with the batsman to pump him up or showing out angry emotions. Bumrah stated that he has able to channelize his anger in the latter part of his career as he understood that getting angry might not improve his game. He recollected the way he used to do all sorts of gimmicks in anger against the batsmen in his younger days.

“So basically what I try to do is, I channelize my anger. When I started as a youngster, I used to get angry left, right, and center and I used to do all types of gimmicks which didn’t really help my game a lot,” Jasprit Bumrah said.
