Australia team’s best batsman Travis Head has praised Team India’s deadly fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah ahead of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. According to Travis Head, Jasprit Bumrah can prove to be an X-factor for Team India in the upcoming Test series. Let us tell you that Jasprit Bumrah is counted among the best bowlers in the world and no matter what the format, this experienced player has handled the bowling attack of Team India very well.

In Test cricket, Jasprit Bumrah has taken 173 wickets in just 40 matches at an average of 20.57. Jasprit Bumrah has played seven test matches in Australia in which he has taken 32 wickets. Not only this, in the unavailability of Rohit Sharma, this strong player can also be seen captaining Team India in the first Test against Australia to be played in Perth. According to Head, Jasprit Bumrah is always one step ahead of the batsmen.

Speaking to Fox Cricket, Travis Head said, ‘It is impossible to face Jasprit Bumrah. You feel like you are one step ahead of them but that is not the case at all. No matter what the format, Jasprit Bumrah has always been seen bowling brilliantly. He is their X-factor and is always seen bowling explosively against the batsmen. It will be very difficult to put up a strong performance against them this summer.

Usman Khawaja also expressed his opinion regarding Jasprit Bumrah

Usman Khawaja said, ‘When I faced Jasprit Bumrah for the first time, I was absolutely stunned. The ball always comes a little fast and you don’t expect it at all. His bowling action is also quite different like Mitchell Johnson. You need to bat very carefully against him.

Let us tell you that the five-match Test series between Team India and Australia is starting from November 22 in Perth. If Team India wants to secure its place in this cycle of the World Test Championship, then they will have to win about four matches of this Test series and not lose even a single one.
