Jasprit Bumrah, the fast bowler from India, has made a big impact on the world of cricket in all the formats of the game with his unconventional but very unique action. Now, this impact seems to have spread to the youngest of fans, with a touching video of a boy copying his action going viral on social media.

Bumrah's bowling action has also always been different. His run-up is brief, his arms swing at a strange angle, and his back, unlike most pacers, bends before releasing the ball.

This action allows him to produce outstanding pace and movement and makes him difficult for batsmen to play against. It’s these quirks that have intrigued young fans and encouraged many to attempt to imitate him.

Young Kid, Influenced By Jasprit Bumrah, Tests His Skills At Fast Bowling

On 11 August, a video started trending online of a young Indian boy in his backyard flawlessly emulating Jasprit Bumrah's signature run-up and delivery stride.

The video, which went viral on social media by fans and cricket pages, instantly attracted attention for how well the imitation was done. From the arm position to the jump before delivery, the little boy nailed almost every detail of the pacer’s style.

This isn’t the first time Bumrah’s influence has gone viral. A few months ago, a Pakistani child made headlines for copying the Indian speedster’s action. Now, this latest video proves that Bumrah’s fan following knows no boundaries, and his legacy is already inspiring the next generation of cricketers.

Bumrah Likely To Be Rested For Asia Cup

India pace ace Jasprit Bumrah is not expected to play in the Asia Cup 2025, with it being rumoured that the BCCI could rest him to maintain his workload before the West Indies Test series

Bumrah recently skipped the final Test in England after bowling nearly 120 overs in three matches, taking 14 wickets but showing signs of fatigue. 

With the Asia Cup starting September 9 and crucial World Test Championship points at stake soon after, selectors face a tough decision. It's also being reported that Bumrah may prioritise Test cricket and return for T20Is against New Zealand in January as preparation for the 2026 T20 World Cup.
