Apart from being one of the best fast bowlers of India, he is also an inspiration for crores of people. Coaches and fellow players also never get tired of praising him. Ever since he has returned to the Indian team, he has been performing well for the team. He also displayed excellent bowling in the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2024 and was also named Player of the Tournament for this. The coaching staff led by Rahul Dravid played an important role in managing Bumrah’s workload. As a result, India won the T20 World Cup title for the second time. Meanwhile, estranged Indian team bowling coach Paras Mhambrey has heaped praise on Bumrah and also revealed what makes the 30-year-old so special. ‘He is a once in a generation bowler’ He said in an interview with Vimal Kumar, I don’t think I had to do much with him. I would love to say that I worked a lot on him as a bowling coach. What could be better than Bumrah performing and I take the credit? But I don’t do that. I have said it before… he is a once in a generation bowler. India has produced great bowlers, there will be more, but Bumrah is a once in a generation bowler in all three formats. He said that whether it is Test, ODI or T20 International. He has extraordinary skills. He knows how to bowl well, his plans are clear. When I talk to him, I feel that his mindset is very clear and he knows what he is doing.
Bowling coach Paras Mhambrey is not worried about Hardik Pandya’s poor form, said- he has faith in his ability…
However, in the T20 World Cup, Hardik Pandya has taken 5 wickets at an average of 10.20 and an economy rate of 6.37. Meanwhile, speaking in the press conference before the match against USA, Mhambrey said that Hardik has a lot of confidence in his ability and the problem with him in the IPL was that he was not in good form. Paras Mahambre said, “I think one thing I am definitely sure about is that he has faith in his ability. Sometimes in the tournament you don’t have the momentum. Sometimes, even if you try, the rhythm doesn’t come. It takes time. I think that was a phase where he didn’t have the momentum. As a bowler, you do everything, you bowl, you bowl continuously, you play so I think sometimes he couldn’t maintain his momentum. That was one of the reasons where he couldn’t maintain his rhythm.” Let us tell you that bowling coach Paras Mhambrey also gave his opinion about the victory of the Indian cricket team against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup. He said, I thought that this match would be a very stressful match. Obviously, it will be more stressful because the match is against Pakistan. You can say anything, but it will never be a normal game.

Every time he comes, he gives his best. “He has great skills.” The former India fast bowler also praised Bumrah for making a good impact in the dressing room. The 51-year-old Mhambrey further said, “The conversation he has in the dressing room, the energy he brings on the field… When the captain and the support staff are around, he is part of the discussion, he is there with all the suggestions. Are there. This is what makes him different from other players.” Additionally, Mhambrey allayed concerns over Bumrah’s fitness.
