He was so nervous to face Bumrah..!?
RCB youngster Anuj Rawat has said that the tension increased by 200 percent when bumrah bowled to him during the IPL series against Mumbai. He also said that batting coach Sanjay Pankar had prepared him to data-face Bumrah's bowling. Star fast bowler jasprit bumrah is preparing to return to the indian team after the t20 world cup series. As bumrah is going to play in the bangladesh Test series directly after about 2 months of rest, the expectation for his bowling has increased. The fans are also eager to see Bumrah's bowling at Chepauk, which is especially favorable for spinners.
Sanjay Banker came to him during batting practice and asked what kind of balls he thought bumrah would bowl. He told him that he would throw length balls at his legs. He immediately advised that he was right. Prepare accordingly. He also gave some advice. As we expected during the match, bumrah bowled straight at his feet. He was bowling as he thought, so he could easily hit the flick shot. Sanjay Pankar sir prepared him, but when bumrah came to bowl, he got a little nervous. That is Bumrah. In that match, he scored 66 off 47 balls. He can say that the half-century against mumbai boosted his morale. Because Mumbai's bowling was strong.
Also, that half-century was extra special. Because when he scored his fifty, virat kohli was standing at the opposite end. Even though he had partnered with virat kohli in a few matches before that, the partnership that day took him to a good place.
