Australian batsman Travis Head, who often becomes a headache for the Indian team, has called Jasprit Bumrah the X factor of Team India. He also said that facing Bumrah in all formats is very challenging. Let us tell you that Jasprit Bumrah will be seen captaining the Indian team in the first Test starting in Perth.
This is the second time when Bumrah will take charge of Team India. Earlier in 2021, he had captained India in England. So it would be wrong to say that Bumrah does not have captaincy experience, he can trouble any team with his captaincy as well as his bowling.
30-year-old Bumrah’s unconventional action, dangerous yorkers and ability to swing the ball both ways constantly troubled the batsmen. Bumrah’s Test record on Australian soil has also been excellent. He has taken 32 wickets in 7 matches at an average of 21.25. Head said that it is quite challenging to steam the balls of Bumrah because he thinks ahead of the batsmen.
While talking to Fox Cricket, Head said that, you try to think that you are one step ahead, but it always feels like he is standing one step ahead. He is unmatched in any format of the game. In big moments you need big players and I think Bumrah is the biggest. You have to take a lot of care as a batsman.
