Team India’s win in the first ever test series in Australia brought us great pride and joy. Though we must admit the series wasn’t devoid of saucy trolls and controversial moments. Even so, team India (especially Rishab Pant) certainly gained profound popularity in the hearts of the Aussie populace. More recently, it is the ace bowler, Jasprit Bumrah who has bewitched a young Aussie fan.
A now viral video shows a kid playing cricket while trying to emulate Bumrah’s distinct bowling style. Take a look at this precious clip posted by a Twitter user-

For the uninitiated, this Test series saw Bumrah finish as the joint-highest wicket-taker together with Aussie Nathan Lyon with 21 wickets each!
