Watch: 5-year-old Pakistan boy copies Jasprit Bumrah's action, India pacer in awe

Mumbai: India pacer Jasprit Bumrah has transformed himself as one of the deadliest bowlers in the limited overs format. Not only does his orthodox bowling action makes it difficult to pick him up but also his deceivable variations have made him a force to be reckoned with in modern day cricket.

The Baroda pacer was stupendous for the Men in Blue in the Asia Cup 2018 tournament picking up 8 wickets in 4 matches at a marvellous average of 16 that saw India emerge as winners. But Bumrah’s heroics have won hearts not only in India but across the border.

In a video that has been going viral on social media, a 5-year-old boy from Pakistan was captured trying to emulate Bumrah’s bowling action.

The India speedster was quick to respond to the video and was overwhelmed upon watching it.

Bumrah says he does not pay heed to opinions on his bowling action since he is comfortable with what he is doing.

Experts such as former Pakistan pacer Aqib Javed feel his unusual bowling action makes him injury prone.

"I don't focus on what the experts are saying or not. I focus on what has helped me and I try to focus on my body and what do I need to keep myself fit. There is not a perfect action in cricket, tell me a bowler, like that, who has not got injured. I focus on how to improve my fitness level," 24-year-old Bumrah told.

The death-overs specialist said it would not be prudent to comment on the upcoming Australia tour without having a look at the conditions.

"There is always bounce there but Australia nowadays is known for high-scoring games well. I am not focusing too much ahead, I am focusing on whatever the next match I play. That's always been my philosophy.

"When I reach Australia, I will assess the wickets. Because sometimes going there with pre-conceived notions and then it doesn't happen, so you are in no space. I'll go there, see the conditions and plan according to that," he said.

India are set to tour Australia for a four Test match series, with the first Test beginning at Adelaide on December 6.

Bumrah also lauded India's bowling coach Bharat Arun, saying the communication with him has been helpful so far.

"You discuss plans with your bowling coach. That communication has been good. I had done one U-19 camp under him and he knows my bowling. It is always good when you have an experienced coach, who knows your strengths and weaknesses," said Bumrah.

The pacer has been rested for the first two One-Day Internationals against the West Indies and he is not complaining.

"It is always good to have a break. Whenever you return from the break, the hunger is back, the body is fresh, you are up and running in good spirit," he said.
