I watch him bowl and we chat all the time. He is entirely different; God has made him different. Woh bilkul alag hain, bhagwan ne unhe alag hi banaya hai. I’ve learnt a lot from him and I take a lot of his advice. I asked him once about his thinking when bowling to a specific hitter, and we talked about “mindset.” He gave me insightful advice and addressed my question, Akash said.
Speaking ahead of time, Akash referred to Bumrah as a “gifted bowler” and said it would take an enormous amount of work to follow in his footsteps.
