Yash Thakur: India fast bowler Yash Thakur has revealed that mastering death bowling has been the defining objective of his career, while describing premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah as the benchmark he hopes to emulate across all formats of the game.
Thakur said he made a conscious decision early in his senior career with Vidarbha to specialise in bowling at the death, believing those overs often determine the outcome of matches.
"Ever since I started playing senior white-ball cricket for Vidarbha, I set one clear goal for myself: to become a specialist at death bowling. Matches are won and lost in the final overs, and that's where I wanted to make a difference for my team,” Thakur told JioStar.
