Jasprit Bumrah: The Secret Behind His Unique Bowling Technique

Jasprit Bumrah has established himself as one of cricket’s premier bowlers — with impressive statistics of 47 Tests, 89 ODIs, and 245 T20 matches.

The uniqueness of Bumrah’s bowling technique lies in his hyperextensive arm movement and unusual release point — approximately 50 centimeters closer to the batsman compared to other elite bowlers.

The most striking aspect of his technique is the ability to generate higher ball rotation than other fast bowlers. This creates a Magnus effect that results in a flatter ball trajectory before hitting the pitch.

IPL 2022-2024 statistical data shows that Bumrah’s deliveries produce significantly more upward force than other bowlers — a phenomenon directly related to the high backspin rate on his ball.

• Flatter ball trajectory
• Perfect seam control
• Consistent ball swing ability
• Unpredictable bounce

This unique combination of bowling techniques makes Bumrah a threat to batsmen across all match formats. His ability to produce complex bowling variations at high speeds makes him one of cricket’s most effective bowlers in the modern era.
