Very Awkward To Face Bumrah First Time, Gets Fine Once Used To Facing Him, Says Usman Khawaja
Usman Khawaja: Australia’s left-handed opener Usman Khawaja admits Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah’s unusual bowling action initially feels awkward, but with constant exposure to facing him, it becomes easier to handle.
"I mean, when you first face him, it's just his action. It's a different, bizarre kind of action as his release point is very different than other bowlers. It's just a bit further up. So a lot of guys release the ball from near the popping crease. (Against Bumrah) it feels like he gets a bit further out just with his front braced leg and pushes the ball out," said Khawaja to Fox Sports on Thursday.
"So it feels like it comes out and then gets there a lot quicker than you expect it. It's just once you get used to the action, it's fine. I played against him a lot. Not to say that he can't give me out on the first ball."
