“Cool logo. Looks like my bowling action as well.”

Jasprit Bumrah is currently in New Zealand and is gearing up for the two-match Test series against the hosts. The right-arm pacer had a poor ODI series where he could not pick up single wicket as India suffered a whitewash in the three-match series. Bumrah will be desperate to prove his critics wrong in the upcoming Tests which will be his first since the tour of West Indies last year.
