The Bumrah way: Instincts over plan for stand-in skipper

Hindustan Times  

Perth: There is a vast difference between how the world views Jasprit Bumrah and the way he sees himself. With so much talk about who the next captain should be for India after Rohit, one might argue that Bumrah’s name isn’t mentioned as much as it should be. Obviously both of them are very successful and gotten a lot of results, but my way… I’ve never followed a copybook plan in terms of my bowling as well as you can see, I’ve never followed a model and I go with my instincts and that’s how I’ve always played my cricket. “And I have a lot of faith in my instincts and gut, so that is what I go with and tactically as a bowler you always make a lot of plans, you’re well aware of what to do and what adjustments you have to make during the game… “ Will this mean that Bumrah constantly talking to the young group of pacers India are likely to field? “I look at the advantage that I understand bowling so you understand when the wicket is changing, what changes you have to make, what field setting are good at this moment and obviously, bowlers do a lot more research and are data driven than batters because that’s how the game is headed.
