"I played a lot of tennis-ball, rubber-ball cricket when I was growing up" - Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah recently spoke about how he played a lot of cricket with tennis and rubber balls during his younger days. The speedster also mentioned that watching fast bowling on the television had a big influence on him.
Bumrah, who is widely regarded as one of the best exponents of the yorker, suggested that constant practice was the reason behind his accuracy with the particular delivery.
"So I played a lot of tennis-ball, rubber-ball cricket when I was growing up. I used to play a lot with my friends in summer camps. And on summer vacations. Or whenever you used to get a lot of time. So when I was a kid, I used to think that this is the only way to get wickets. Because I was a fan of fast bowling. I was really fascinated by what I saw on the television. So I tried to replicate that," he tolf ICC.
"Is it (tennis-ball cricket) a secret (to bowling yorkers) or not? I don’t know. But repetition surely is. Because I have kept this delivery. I still practice it. I keep on practicing it. Because every skill that you develop, you have to practice it and make it stronger. So I think a combination of both would be the answer," he added
