3 reasons behind Jasprit Bumrah's meteoric rise in international cricket

#3. Versatility

Apart from yorker, Bumrah has a good slower ball in his armoury

When Bumrah first burst onto the scene through stellar performances in the IPL, everyone conceived him as a limited overs specialist. Experts and fans both believed that Bumrah wouldn't be able to replicate his limited over performances in the whites. But he proved them wrong.

The versatility and mental adaptation that he displayed was worth a pat on the back. There was a stark contrast in his mindset in the tests as opposed to his mindset in the ODIs and T20s. He very subtly changed his line and length, constantly probing that off stump line in the tests, making the batsmen drive. And the results were visible in the form of a five wicket haul against South Africa. And he will be keen to pull off similar performances versus England, where he is predicted to be playing a pivotal role.
