The first bowler to reach the no. 1 rank in the International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s Player Rankings across Tests, ODIs and T20Is, Jasprit Bumrah has carved an unrivalled legacy and reputation in the sport. With his unique run-up, indecipherable throw and precise deliveries that are dreaded by the world’s most seasoned batters, the starry-eyed boy from Ahmedabad who gave his all to his sport is now one of the most successful and highly rated bowlers in world cricket.
In a new book published by Penguin Random House India titled The Boom Effect: Decoding the Magic of Jasprit Bumrah, sports journalist Aayush Puthran and sports author Nicholas Brookes captures and traces the miraculous bowler’s explosive rise as an unmatched sportsman. Published under the Penguin Play imprint, Puthran and Brookes’s new book, rather than recording the phenomenal statistics and unparalleled milestones achieved by the world-class bowler, sets out to unpack the discipline, grind and consistent effort that shaped what the authors call the “Boom Effect,” signifying Bumrah’s signature sporting style and calibre.
From the bowler’s early days of youth spent watching fast bowlers on television, through years of honing his skills behind the spotlight in streets and small cricket grounds to, finally, the greatest sporting stage in international matches, the book decodes what goes into the making of the once-in-a-generation star that Bumrah is.
The Boom Effect: Decoding the Magic of Jasprit Bumrah is all set to be released in October 2026, with copies priced at 699 INR each.
