The Sunday Clash between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals we saw two of the world’s best fast bowlers go up against each other at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. It was Jasprit Bumrah from Mumbai Indians who was up against Jofra Archer of Rajasthan Royals. The two bowlers are known for not giving batsman absolutely no room for displaying their shots due to their rapid pace.
In the IPL 2020 match between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians on Sunday, Jofra Archer was seen imitating the bowling action of Jasprit Bumrah as we all know Jasprit Bumrah is known to have an unconventional and slightly unorthodox bowling action as he keeps both fists downwards during his run-up. Though Jofra Archer didn’t actually bowl with Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling action, he had done enough to catch the attention of the cameraman.
