Bumrah became the first bowler in IPL history to take 5 wickets against RCB. He has also set the precedent of taking 5 wickets multiple times in IPL as the fourth cricketer. After contributing to the team’s victory, Bumrah revealed the secret of his success.
After the Mumbai Indians-Royal Challengers Bangalore match, Bumrah said, “T20 cricket is very tough for bowlers. I never wanted to have only one weapon as a bowler. From the beginning of my cricket career, I worked to increase the variety of the ball. Everyone tries to bowl the right line. I Besides that, I used to focus on developing other skills. Bowling is always difficult. Batters will try to hit. If my performance is not good, I watch the video the next day. I try to understand why I didn’t succeed. How to bowl would have been effective. Followed this method from a young age. Tried to.”
Any special preparation for success? Bumrah said, “Preparation is very important. It’s important to try to energize yourself before every match. You can’t have just one weapon. You can’t bowl yorkers all the time. Sometimes you have to bowl shorter lengths. In this type of cricket, always. There is no room for same-mindedness. Just as you have to bowl at 145 kmph, you have to bowl slower too. Variation of the ball is very important in T20 cricket
