Jasprit Bumrah The Indian Premier League (IPL) was played in 2013 with Sachin Tendulkar in his debut season for Mumbai Indians (MI). 12 years later, Ahmedabad -born game was distinguished as one of the finest pacer playing.
Bumrah started his IPL against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and finished with 3/32 figures. He took the wickets of Mayank Agarwal, Virat Kohli and Karun Nair.
Bumrah admitted that he was a bit concerned with the encounter, as he was competing against some stallwarts of the game. However, the legendary Tendulkar gave him a great piece of advice that helped to calm his nerves.
“When I came here, Sachin Tendulkar was still playing. It was his last year. Initially, when a 19 -year -old comes in this atmosphere and sees such legends of the game everywhere, the cricket level is very high and so is so different from the under -19 cricket. I was a little overwhelmed,” Bumrah said through a sportsstar.
“But when I played my first game, before starting the game, he told me that 'don't look at the person. Not for the batsman, not for the name.” This helped me a lot, ”he said.
