The Boom Effect – Aayush Puthran and Nicholas Brookes(Hardcover)

Description

Unorthodox, unstoppable and universally revered, Jasprit Bumrah has risen from obscurity to revolutionise Indian cricket, defying the odds to become arguably the greatest fast bowler the nation has ever seen.

As a youngster, Bumrah wasn’t heralded as a once-in-a-generation talent. He had no academy pedigree, no India Under-19 career, and none of the physical attributes typically associated with fast bowlers. Yet, at every turn, he shocked and surprised, rising to every challenge.

From being plucked from obscurity by Mumbai Indians at 19 to leading India’s pace attack, Bumrah has repeatedly silenced his critics. Injuries and heartbreaking defeats tested him, before his genius helped carry India to glory in 2024.

The Boom Effect uncovers the man behind the phenomenon: his struggles, resilience and extraordinary rise, and explores how Jasprit Bumrah became one of cricket’s most entertaining, enigmatic and influential figures, changing the game forever.
