Jasprit Bumrah is a premier practitioner of lethal yorkers but he considers his mastery in the art form to be just about "decent" and that too after hours of intense net practice.
Bumrah's toe-crushers had already sent his injured teammate Vijay Shankar back home and on Tuesday, he confirmed Bangladesh's return ticket from World Cup with back-to-back toe-crushers.
"I do it again and again and again in the nets. So the more you do it, you get decent at it. You can't master it," said a modest Bumrah when asked how he has again made the block-hole delivery fashionable at the death.
"You are still trying to get better at it, yeah. It's all about repetition. It's like any other ball."
So is there any batsman who has got a measure of his yorker?
