The bowling action of Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah is one of the most unique action in cricket history. Many people try to copy Bumrah’s action, just like many have tried to imitate that of Zaheer Khan, Shoaib Akhtar and others. However, the star pacer has revealed that no coach in India believed in him as they felt he won’t last long.
“I don’t think a lot of people believed in me because they thought that this bowling action will not last for long. He’ll play for six months, seven months,” Bumrah told Fox Cricket.
“So not really a lot of people worked on me or, you know, gave me inputs that, you know, I think this is useful or you should stop doing that because I don’t think they saw a lot of merit,” he added.
“I think that worked out in my favour because I was self-reliant then and I had to have a lot of self-belief and find out solutions on my own. So yes, nobody tried to change me, but nobody gave any extra solutions,” he further added.
“So that worked out for the best in the greater interest, but then that helped me develop, you know, relying on yourself and having the self-belief. So I think that worked out brilliantly for me,” he concluded.

Bumrah manage to pick eight wickets during the Test in Perth, and followed it up by taking four wickets in the pink-ball Test in Adelaide. After India lost by 10 wickets in the Adelaide Test, skipper Rohit Sharma even shared his views on how the bowlers need to share workload with Bumrah.
