In the felicitation ceremony after winning the T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli described Jasprit Bumrah as one of the bowlers of the next generation. But do you know how Jasprit Bumrah was discovered and how he reached Team India? Let's know the whole story.

The year 2013 was very special for Bumrah. This was the year when Bumrah made his IPL debut, after which his fortunes changed. But before the IPL, the 2013 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy was very important for Bumrah, which helped him move forward. Bumrah plays first class cricket for Gujarat. If the Gujarat selectors had not selected Bumrah in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 11 years ago, then perhaps he would not have been in Team India today.

Bumrah had decided to quit cricket

Before 2013, Bumrah had decided to quit cricket due to lack of progress. He started thinking about quitting cricket and going to Canada. But in the meantime, Bumrah joined the district team. Consider that the district team's tournament was like a trial to make a place in the state team. Bumrah got a chance to play only one match with the district team and he performed brilliantly in it and got a place in the state team.

The year 2013 was special

Bumrah made his List A, First Class and T20 debut in 2013. In the 2013 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Bumrah caught the attention of John Wright, who was looking for young talent for Mumbai Indians.

After this, Bumrah made his IPL debut in 2013 itself. After performing brilliantly in the IPL, Bumrah caught the attention of BCCI and in 2016 he made his debut for Team India. Bumrah played his first match of international career in ODI against Australia. Then after waiting for 2 years, Bumrah made his debut in Test cricket in 2018. Now Bumrah has become one of the main fast bowlers of Team India.
