Impact
Bumrah has had a positive impact on kids
JB is known for his sling action and an unorthodox style of bowling. He has quickly gone on to become one of the most feared bowlers, in the world, across all three formats. With kids wanting to bowl like him, it shows the impact he is creating with his performance. Cricket unifies one and all and it is great to see such affection.

Bumrah has created a name for himself
The right-arm fast bowler has so far featured in 6 Tests, 41 ODIs and 35 T20Is. He made his Test debut earlier this year against South Africa in Cape Town. Even though, he has a long way to go, the 24-year-old has displayed his wicket taking prowess across the three formats. We hope many kids, across the globe, get inspired by the champion bowler.
Information
Bumrah rested for series against West Indies
JB has been rested for the ODI series against West Indies. He also missed out on the Test series. The idea, behind the same, is to help him stay fit and ready for the crucial tour of Australia and the 2019 ICC World Cup.
