Yorker can’t be only weapon, says Jasprit Bumrah

It doesn’t work if someone becomes a ‘one trick pony’ in international cricket and India’s ‘death overs’ specialist Jasprit Bumrah knows that bowling effective yorkers can’t remain his only weapon.

“You cannot be successful by just bowling yorkers. Nobody can bowl six out of six yorkers. So you have to mix your pace. You have to bowl bouncers, mix up the pace. In practice, I don’t only bowl yorker,” said Bumrah on the sidelines of Gujarat’s Ranji Trophy match against Bengal.

The 22-year-old who has been an automatic choice in the limited overs set up, having played eight ODIs and 21 T20Is, said that the yorker was like a length ball to him.
