Both Bumrah's unorthodox style and rising stock in international cricket have paved a way for his action to be copied by youngsters around the globe.
Prior to this incident in Hong Kong U-13 league, an Australian kid had tried to copy Bumrah's action. JB had appreciated his efforts on Twitter.
In October 2018, a Pakistani five-year-old kid had also imitated the star Indian bowler.

JB has quickly gone on to become one of the most feared bowlers, in the world, across all the three formats.
With kids wanting to bowl like him, it shows the impact he is creating with his performance.
Cricket unifies one and all and it is great to see such affection for JB.
Bumrah is currently involved in the series against Australia at home.

The right-arm fast bowler has so far featured in 10 Tests, 45 ODIs and 42 T20Is.
He made his Test debut against South Africa in Cape Town in early 2018.
Even though, he has a long way to go, the 25-year-old has displayed his wicket taking prowess across the three formats.
We hope more kids, across the globe, get inspired by the champion bowler.
