The all-rounder made up his mind to try something unique. Just as he approached the crease, he perfectly emulated Jasprit Bumrah‘s run-up and bowling action, in what looked pretty much similar.

Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah is representing Mumbai Indians in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League. The right-arm fast bowler got off to a worst start as he turned out to be expensive in the first game against Delhi Capitals.
He conceded 43 runs in 3.2 overs as the five-time IPL champions were taken aback by late lower-order hitting by the Delhi Capitals. Nonetheless, Bumrah made a terrific comeback against Rajasthan Royals as he took 3 wickets, giving away only 17 runs.
Mumbai Indians are yet to get off the mark in this season. Having played two games so far this season, they lost all two games against Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals. They will take on Kolkata Knight Riders on April 6 at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium.
