Neeraj Chopra's important advice for Jasprit Bumrah

Olympic gold medalist Neeraj Chopra shared important advice for Jasprit Bumrah after India's defeat at the ODI World Cup final. Chopra, who was at the Narendra Modi Stadium to watch the final live, said that he is a fan of Bumrah because of his unique bowling action. Chopra further stated that Bumrah probably needs to lengthen his run-up to increase his pace.   

“I like Jasprit Bumrah; I find his action unique. I feel he should lengthen his run-up to add more pace. As a javelin thrower, we often discuss how bowlers can increase their pace if they start their run-up from a little further back. I like Bumrah’s style," Neeraj Chopra was quoted as saying to the Indian Express.
