Jasprit Bumrah is one of the greatest pacers among the current generation of bowlers. When it comes to bowling with effectiveness and consistency across three all three formats of the game, there is no one that comes close. Bumrah won the Player of the Tournament after starring in India's T20 World Cup 2024. However, he was asked the toughest batter to bowl to at an event and the Indian speedster answered the question in his typical style.
Notably, Bumrah was attending a college event when he was quizzed if there is any batter that he finds difficult to bowl to. However, it is his answer that proves why he is among the best bowlers in the world.
"Look I want to give a good answer, but the real factor is that I don’t want anyone to take over me in my head. I respect everyone but, in my head, I tell myself that if I do my job well, there’s nobody in the world who can stop me," Bumrah can be heard saying in the video.

"So I look at myself rather than the opponent I think that I have control over everything and if I give myself the best opportunity, everything else will take care of itself rather than giving the power to the batsman that he’ll get better of me or he’s better than me," he added.

India's next assignment is the two-match Test series against Bangladesh with the series opener set to commence on September 19. Bumrah is likely to be back in the Indian team for this bilateral affair.
