‘I know the answer you are searching for but…!’ Jasprit Bumrah’s bold response to who’s the fittest Indian player query | Cricket News – Times of India

Date:

NEW DELHI: India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah recently put himself above the likes of Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja on the list of India’s fittest cricketers.
In a cheeky response to a query at an event, Bumrah labelled himself as the fittest, explaining that fast bowling takes a lot of toll and he would always promote pacers and fast bowling.
While Kohli has led the fitness revolution in the Indian cricket team over the years, Jadeja, KL Rahul are among some of the fittest players in the current team, but Bumrah’s response to the fittest player query was followed by a round of applause from the audience.
“I know the answer you are searching for, but I would like to say my name, because I am a fast bowler. I have been playing for a while. Being a fast bowler and playing in this country in the heat takes a lot of requirements. So I will always promote a fast bowlers,”

After the T20 World Cup heroics and an over a month long break, Bumrah was recently picked for the opening India vs Bangladesh Test, which commences from September 19 in Chennai.
Bumrah along with other Indian cricketers are in Chennai and are sweating it out in a four-day camp ahead of India’s upcoming gruelling Test season.
Bumrah on Friday bowled full tilt in the practice session.

On the spin-friendly Chepauk track, Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj are likely to be the two Indian pacers in the opening Test against Bangladesh.
