Indian cricket team's fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is also known for his perfect Yorker ball. Many batsmen afraid of his deadly bowling. Jasprit is so famous about his Yorkers that none of his teammates want to face him during net practice. But now Jasprit Bumrah himself has disclosed shocking information about his Yorker bowling.

Jasprit Bumrah also plays for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The same Mumbai Indians, who also holds the record for winning the most titles in the IPL. The special thing is that the bowling of Jasprit Bumrah and Sri Lankan bowler Lasith Malinga has played an important role in winning the title for four times. Whenever Bumrah talks about the yorker, it definitely comes out that Malinga has an important contribution in his ability to throw the yorker. But now Bumrah himself has rejected this thing outright.

Jasprit Bumrah said, 'Most people believe that Lasith Malinga taught me the Yorker bowling, which is not true. He did not teach me anything on the field. I have only learned one thing from him that how to face different situations, how to plan for the batsman and how to control anger'. Regarding the yorker, Bumrah said, 'I used to watch cricket on TV. Whenever bowlers took wickets or threw the ball at high speed, I used to enjoy it a lot. I thought that this is what I want to do. I considered myself Brett Lee in my mind. Sometimes he bowled like this, sometimes he did something else. I used to copy my ideal bowlers.'

Bumrah said, 'when we used to play cricket in our childhood, we had a rubber ball, it was very tough and the seam was also inscribed on it. This ball used to swing a lot. We did not play on the pitch so there was no seam movement and there was no possibility of getting caught behind the wicket. In such a situation, I tried to throw the ball at full length to the batsmen as much as possible. If you wanted a wicket, you had to throw yorkers. I believe this experience made me sane. '
