India’s golden boy has straightly named Jasprit Bumrah, who could have a successful career in the javelin throw. He further explained that fast bowlers already have the strength, body coordination, and technique that javelin throwing requires.

Notably, Bumrah was recently in action in the first Test match against England at Headingley. He delivered a stunning performance in the first innings, claiming his 14th five-wicket haul in Test cricket. However, in the second innings, Bumrah couldn’t pick up a wicket as England pulled off a stunning chase of 371 runs.
Ben Duckett led the charge with a brilliant 149, guiding England to one of the highest successful fourth-innings chases in Test history. With a five-wicket win over India, England is currently leading the ongoing five-match Test series by a 1-0 margin, with the second Test scheduled in Birmingham from July 2.
When Dinesh Karthik tried his hand at Javelin throw
During the 2024 episode of Jio Cinema’s ‘Get Set Gold’ show, Neeraj challenged Karthik to throw the javelin at least 25 meters. Karthik didn’t get it right on his first try, but with a little guidance and determination, the former cricketer nailed the target on his second attempt.

Mohammed Siraj, who has played the same number of matches as Bumrah, has bowled 355.3 overs. With Bumrah likely to be rested for workload management, Siraj is expected to lead the pace attack at Edgbaston. However, his performance at Headingley wasn’t impressive.
Here are the fast bowlers who bowled most overs in Tests (since start of 2024):
Mitchell Starc - 362.3 (48 wickets)
Mohammed Siraj - 355.3 (41 wickets)
Gus Atkinson - 328 (55 wickets)
