"Wah jee wah look at that control and action exactly like the great @Jaspritbumrah93 video of the day for me #crickethavenoboundiers"

Jasprit Bumrah recently had a massive influence on India's T20 World Cup triumph through his sensational bowling performances. In eight matches, Bumrah picked up 15 wickets at an economy rate of just 4.17.

He also made a telling difference in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa, conceding just 18 runs in his four overs with two massive wickets of Reeza Hendricks and Marcon Jansen.
