As the Indian cricket team prepares for the Asia Cup 2025 final against Pakistan, Jasprit Bumrah has shown a different side of himself. He was spotted in the nets practicing left-arm spin, mimicking Ravindra Jadeja’s bowling style. This occurred before the Super 4 match against Sri Lanka in Dubai. Bumrah, under the guidance of batting coach Sitanshu Kotak, imitated Jadeja’s action before returning to his usual pace bowling. This playful moment showed the more relaxed side of the player. In the tournament, Bumrah has taken five wickets in four matches, with an average of 22 and an economy of 7.33. His notable performance against Bangladesh (2/18) helped India win by 41 runs. Bumrah has been lethal with the new ball. His workload is being managed carefully, as shown by his rest against Oman. The return of a fully fit Bumrah is a big advantage for India. Having missed a significant amount of cricket in 2024 due to injury, Bumrah’s return is well-managed. Bumrah has tried spin before. While fans shouldn’t expect to see him bowl left-arm spin in a match, it showcases a relaxed team atmosphere. India will depend on Bumrah in the final on September 28.
