India’s star pacer Jasprit Bumrah is known for his fierce bowling attack, which is effective and consistent across all three formats. In India’s T20 World Cup 2024, he also won the Player of the Tournament award.
But apart from being the most feared bowler, Bumrah is also a cunning sportsperson who doesn’t get into controversy.
In a recent college event, when asked if there is any batter that he finds difficult to bowl, Bumrah answered the question in his typical style.
“Look I want to give a good answer, but the real factor is that I don’t want anyone to take over me in my head. I respect everyone but, in my head, I tell myself that if I do my job well, there’s nobody in the world who can stop me,” Bumrah can be heard saying in the video.
“So I look at myself rather than the opponent I think that I have control over everything and if I give myself the best opportunity, everything else will take care of itself rather than giving the power to the batsman that he’ll get better of me or he’s better than me,” he added.
