Initially, when Jasprit Bumrah arrived into the international scene, the experts and analysts expressed he is prone to injuries with the unorthodox bowling action. However, Bumrah leapt all the hurdles to become the best in the business without any damages because of his action.

He was also kept aside from the Test cricket, as selectors feared of losing him in the name of injury. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah quoted he doesn’t care about people perception of his bowling action.

There is no perfect bowling action in cricket – Jasprit Bumrah

The fast bowler quoted there would be no action in the game of cricket which would ensure no injuries for the bowlers. He wants to focus on his fitness standards and ways to stay away from the injuries.

Meanwhile, the Gujarat pacer lauded the services of the bowling coach Bharat Arun. Jasprit Bumrah revealed he knew Bharat Arun since his U-19 days, which helped him to improve his game.

“I don’t focus on what the experts are saying or not. I focus on what has helped me and I try to focus on my body and what do I need to keep myself fit. There is not a perfect action in cricket, tell me a bowler, like that, who has not got injured. I focus on how to improve my fitness level,” 24-year-old Bumrah told a select group of reporters.

“You discuss plans with your bowling coach. That communication has been good. I had done one U-19 camp under him and he knows my bowling. It is always good when you have an experienced coach, who knows your strengths and weaknesses,” said Bumrah.

However, as Jasprit Bumrah quoted, he has always grown from strength to strength in his game to become the number one in ICC ODI rankings for bowlers. Meanwhile, he was given rest for the upcoming ODI series against the Windies.
