Soon after Jasprit Bumrah posted the video, his Mumbai teammate Krunal Pandya was quick to praise the pacer. Krunal Pandya commented saying that Jasprit Bumrah looks like AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic ahead of the Dream11 IPL 2020 playoffs.

Several others complimented the change in style as well, as they wished the fast bowler best of luck ahead of the Mumbai vs Delhi match.
Jasprit Bumrah is a huge Zlatan Ibrahimovic fan
Interestingly, the Indian pacer seems to be a big Zlatan Ibrahimovic fan. Earlier this year, Jasprit Bumrah had shared a quote from Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s book about improving and getting better as he posted a picture on Instagram. The fast bowler had also shared a snippet from Zlatan Ibrahimovic interview where the striker is seen explaining why he doesn’t endorse a social media-centric lifestyle. Sharing the video, Bumrah had then written that Ibrahimovic’s comments were words to live by.
The bowler will next be seen in action when he takes to the field against the Delhi outfit. Jasprit Bumrah has had his best IPL season yet, with the fast bowler picking up 23 wickets in 13 matches. The pacer has bowled some impressive spells during Dream11 IPL 2020 and will be looking to leapfrog Kagiso Rabada as he aims to become the bowler with the most wickets this season.
