Jasprit Bumrah is the man for every occasion, whenever the team needs an early breakthrough or any match stage. He was adjudged the Player of the Tournament in the T20 World Cup 2024 and was the linchpin behind India’s successful outing against Pakistan and South Africa in the final.

An old video of the young Bumrah going viral shows him correcting his role in the Mumbai Indians camp. He was mentioned as ‘right-arm medium’, but the pacer quipped that he is rather ‘right-arm fast.’ The 30-year-old has been associated as player with MI since 2013 and is one of few players in the league with an unhinged association with any franchise alongside Virat Kohli.

“Yeh galat likha hai (it’s written wrong). Right-arm medium nahi hai na, right-arm fast hai (it shouldn’t be right-arm medium, it’s right-arm fast),” said Bumrah in the video.

Here’s the viral video of Bumrah:

Within just three seasons with MI, Bumrah earned a maiden India call-up with an ODI against Australia at Sydney in January 2016. He made his T20I debut three days later on 26th January 2016 during the same tour. The right-arm pacer has always been vocal about his love for the longest format, and the moment came on January 05, 2018 with a Test against South Africa in Cape Town.
