Jasprit Bumrah (aka Team India’s highest wicket-taker this Cricket world cup) was such a delight to watch during matches. His exceptional bowling and talent of taking crucial wickets won him lots of accolades and love from fans.
This elderly lady and Twitter user @himsini’s mother who was also awed by his stellar performance decided to recreate his bowling action and the result is too adorable to miss. After all, imitation is the best form of flattery, right?

This is undoubtedly the cutest tweet of the cricket season. Needless to say, the video went viral with supersonic speed and accumulated 32,000 likes and over 3,000 retweets in no time. Bumrah himself came across the post and was very impressed by his fan’s bowling skills.
Here’s what he had to say.
This made my day 😁 https://t.co/ZPLq0gSVzk

This isn’t the first time an elderly cricket fan has won hearts online. Earlier, 87-year-old Charulata Patel broke the internet with her tricolour scarf and energetic cheering using a trumpet. Skipper Virat Kohli and batsman Rohit Sharma went down to the stands to get her blessings for future matches.
