"When I see children trying to copy my action....": Jasprit Bumrah

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], September 20 (ANI): Following a fine spell against Bangladesh, Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah said that he is happy to have inspired the young generation through his fast bowling.
Fine performances by Indian pacers, particularly Jasprit Bumrah, helped the hosts secure a tight advantage at the end of day two of the first Test against Bangladesh at Chennai on Friday. Bumrah completed 400 wickets in international cricket, becoming the 10th bowler from his team to do so.
Speaking to JioCinema after the game, Bumrah said that he does not recommend children to copy his bowling action.
"I do not know how to react to that (being told that he is an inspiration). But you know, when I was a kid, I used to. I was a fan of fast bowling. I learnt through watching television. I fell in love with the sport by that. Now, sometimes when I see children trying to copy my action, I do not recommend it. But you know, sometimes it is what it is. You get inspired by something,, and you try and find your own way. I am very happy to create an impact whenever I can," Bumrah told the broadcaster.
The pacer also said he does not get "too high" after being praised or too low after being criticised.
"I try to give my absolute best. So I try to focus on what I can do, and I try to give my absolute best. I wanted to play for India. So playing for India. No complaints. And I want to give my best for as long as I can," he further added.
Coming to the match, Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field first.
