Bumrah has a bag of tricks to surprise the batsmen

Batsmen generally tend to find it hard to pick bowlers with awkward actions. Be it Paul Adams, or Lasith Malinga, or even Sohail Tanvir, bowlers with an unconventional bowling action have always had an X factor about them. Another entrant into the list is Jasprit Bumrah. With an awkward action, Bumrah can surprise the batsmen with his lively pace. He can hit the high 140s quite consistently and be very useful on the Australian pitches with the new ball.

Bumrah even has other tricks in his bag. He can bowl the in dippers to the right-handers and even shake up the batsmen with his deadly bouncers and short pitched deliveries. Above all, Bumrah needs to be hailed for his art at bowling the yorkers.

Yorkers, somehow still remain underrated in the Test format but can be used to trouble the batsmen at Bumrah's pace and accuracy. His slower balls are hard to pick and can deceive the batsman irrespective of the format.
