England Cricketer Turns Jasprit Bumrah | Watch VIRAL Video

Bumrah, who was named Player of the Match after helping India level the five-match series with a 106-run victory in Visakhapatnam, ended Ashwin’s 11-month long reign at the top.

New Delhi: England’s young cricketer has turned into Jasprit Bumrah after the speedster got the number one ICC Rankings in Test cricket following his nine wickets haul in the recently concluded 2nd Test against England in Dr. Y.S.Rajashekar Reddy ACA-VDCA International Cricket Stadium – Visakhapatnam.

The 30-year-old is the leading wicket-taker in the series so far with 15 scalps at an average of 10.67. However, The X handle of the County Championship has shared a video in which a young England cricketer is trying to imitate Bumrah’s action. He ended up doing quite a funny imitation of the Indian pacer’s bowling action. Here is the clip:

Bumrah’s nine-wicket match haul, which included a brilliant 6/45 in the first innings at Visakhapatnam, has helped him leapfrog Pat Cummins, Kagiso Rabada and compatriot Ravichandran Ashwin. Bumrah is now only the fourth bowler from his country to attain number one position in Test bowlers’ rankings after spinners Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Bishan Singh Bedi.

Ashwin, who is now at second place in the bowlers rankings after picking just three wickets at Visakhapatnam, and Jadeja, currently nursing a hamstring injury, also have the unique distinction of being jointly top-ranked, in March 2017. Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav has moved up four places to 45th position after a strong return to the Test team in Visakhapatnam.

The batting rankings see left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal progress 37 places to 29th after completing a fine career-best 209 in the first innings, while right-handed batter Shubman Gill go up 14 places to a career-best 38th after notching 104 in the second innings.
