Jasprit Bumrah says Shane Bond played a significant role in shaping his career

India's pacer Jasprit Bumrah has claimed that former New Zealand pacer Shane Bond has played a significant role in shaping his career. The Mumbai Indians pacer will be leading India's bowling unit in the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand. It has just been three years since Bumrah made his debut in the most extended format of the game. In such a short span, the seamer from Gujarat has become one of the premium bowlers for the Indian cricket team. The 27-year-old has picked up 83 wickets from 19 games at a fantastic average of 22.10. Bumrah is the only Asian bowler to pick five-wicket hauls in England, South Africa, Australia and the West Indies in Test cricket.
