Since his debut, Bumrah has been India's best bowler across formats and his unmatched skills have increased his stature as a fast bowler in the team. For the younger Indian fast bowling lot, the Gujarat pacer is a mentor who guides them with his experience and skill.

What is Bumrah's mantra when guiding young fast bowlers?

Talking to ICC's official website for the T20 World Cup, the Indian fast bowling spearhead revealed that he never tries to "over-teach" the younger lot and steps in to help only when asked, to avoid burdening them with information.

"You don't try to over-teach. That is something that I have learned," Bumrah told the ICC's official website for the T20 World Cup.

"Because whenever people need help, I let them have their own questions... Because you don't want to give too much information," he said.

Bumrah, who missed the last T20 World Cup due to back issues, is back to lead the Indian bowling attack in the tournament. The two other pacers in the side, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj, both have shown they can wreak batting line-ups on their day but struggled with consistency.

Since his comeback from back injury, Bumrah has been better than ever before. His performance in IPL 2024 was exemplary. In a tournament where 200 was being breached for fun, the Mumbai Indians pacer ended up with an economy below 6.5. With 20 wickets, he was also third in the race of Purple Cap.

India will hope for another ground-breaking performance from their pace spearhead to help them win their first ICC trophy in more than a decade.
