'Exactly Like Jasprit Bumrah': Wasim Akram Reacts To Video Of Pakistani Boy Imitating India Superstar's Action

Former legendary Pakistan speedster Wasim Akram was left thrilled and impressed after a video of a Pakistani boy perfectly imitating Jasprit Bumrah's unique bowling action went viral.

In the viral video, the young boy perfectly mimicked every element of Bumrah's action. His action is almost flawless, even down to the peculiar lead-in and the accurate delivery gait. The child imitates Bumrah's bowling action, down to the smallest details, showing his hours of practice and attention.

Cricket fans and supporters alike have taken a particular interest in the young Pakistani boy's bowling action. Pakistan icon Akram showed his appreciation for young boy on X (formerly Twitter), stating, " "Wah jee wah, look at that control and action exactly like the great @Jaspritbumrah93. Video of the day for me. #crickethavenoboundaries."

Notably, Bumrah was named Player of the Tournament for his outstanding performance during the the extravagant ICC event, and he was a key member of India's victorious T20 World Cup team. Bumrah proved how good he was at bowling, taking 15 wickets in just eight games. His bowling figures were outstanding, with an average of 8.26 runs per wicket which was rather extraordinary.

In addition, Bumrah's economy rate—which calculates the average amount of runs given up per over—was a startling 4.17. All three forms of cricket—Tests, ODIs, and T20Is—see Bumrah as a master of his trade. With a natural ability to hit the new ball with ease, he can rapidly change his approach when the going gets tough. Bumrah play vital role in taking crucial wickets in the middle overs, a well-placed bouncer to trap a batter in a Test, or dependable death-overs bowling.
