Jasprit Bumrah: The Yorker King of Indian Cricket

 Jasprit Bumrah, often referred to as the "Yorker King," is one of India's most iconic fast-medium bowlers. Known for his pinpoint accuracy and unorthodox action, Bumrah's rise in international cricket is a story of resilience, determination, and exceptional talent.

Early Life and Background

His mother, Diljit, a school principal, raised him single-handedly. Despite financial and emotional challenges, Jasprit’s love for cricket remained strong.


Beginning of a Cricketing Dream

At the age of 14, Bumrah expressed his desire to become a professional bowler. After some initial hesitation, his mother supported his dream. His dedication earned him a spot in a summer camp run by the Gujarat Cricket Association.

Path to Stardom

Bumrah's talent soon caught attention, and he was selected for the MRF Pace Foundation and National Cricket Academy’s zonal camp. He started his professional journey with Gujarat’s Under-19 team and performed remarkably well.

IPL Debut and Recognition

In 2013, Bumrah made his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians against Royal Challengers Bangalore, taking 3 wickets for 32 runs. This breakthrough performance opened doors for him in national and international cricket.

First-Class and T20 Career
