Multan Sultans fast bowler Ali Shafiq said India quick Jasprit Bumrah is his role model.

Shafiq made a fine start to Pakistan Super League 2019, picking up 2-11 in his four overs against Islamabad United in Dubai.

His incredible figures trumped an all-round show by Shahid Afridi to earn him the man-of-the match title.

The 22-year-old pacer is a part of a clutch of Pakistan bowlers to have impressed in the opening weekend.

Lahore Qalandars quick Haris Rauf and Karachi Kings spinner Umer Khan have performed admirably as well.

After his man-of-the-match effort against Islamabad, Shafiq said his hero is Bumrah.

The Indian quick has become an inspiration for many up-and-coming and budding bowlers.

Videos have emerged from India, Pakistan and Australia of young kids trying to bowl like Bumrah.
