Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, renowned for his unique bowling action and wicket-taking abilities, has become a formidable force in world cricket since his IPL debut with Mumbai Indians in 2013. The fast bowler from Gujarat has excelled in all formats, playing 36 Tests, 89 ODIs, and 70 T20Is for India since then.

If there's one player in the current era who the world unanimously considers as a once-in-a-generation cricketer, it's fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah.
A short run-up for an express bowler ends with a stiff-arm bowling action that a coaching manual may never approve of. But Bumrah has not only gone on to deliver with that awkward action but has also become a world beater and a menace for batsmen around the world.
Since his first appearance on the big stage with the 2013 Indian Premier League (IPL) for Mumbai Indians, the pacer from Gujarat hasn't looked back, turning into a force to reckon with in all three formats.
An interesting video clip on social media, possibly from his debut year with Mumbai Indians, has appeared on social media where a young Bumrah is seen raising objection to him being mentioned as "right arm medium" in a published story about him.

"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)," he could be heard telling someone while reading the story.

Three years after plying his trade in the IPL, Bumrah made his debut for India in an ODI against Australia in January 2016. He made his T20I debut three days after that and first wore the Test whites in Cape Town against South Africa in January 2018.
Bumrah has so far played 36 Tests (159 wickets), 89 ODIs (149 wickets) and 70 T20Is (89 wickets) for India.
