India is all set to take Bangladesh in a two-match Test, set to begin from September 19. Virat Kohli is going to be one of the most important players in the Indian squad for the series. However, Kohli’s teammate from RCB Akash Deep named Jasprit Bumrah, instead of Kohli, as a player who has been crafted by God.
Akash Deep said that Jasprit Bumrah has always been his inspiration. Actions by Bumrah are something unique and hard to follow. Akash also said that he observed Mohammed Siraj as well.
“Every bowler in the world has their own unique action and technique, and each one is great in their own way. I follow Rabada a bit, and Bumrah is a legend. It’s hard to follow him. ‘Bumrah bhai ko bhagwan ne alag hi bana k bheja hai (He has been uniquely crafted by God), and I can’t learn everything from him. I also observe Siraj and learn from him. I pick up small things from various bowlers, but I don’t follow just one bowler too much,” he said.
Both Akash and Bumrah are part of the 16-player squad for the first match of the Test series. He expressed his gratitude on being selected in the team.
“This is a huge responsibility that I have been given, allowing me to serve my team. Shami bhai is currently injured… I see this as a responsibility and am trying my best to live up to the faith that the selectors and BCCI management have placed in me,” he said.
