Bumrah has been made the vice-captain for the five-match Test series against England.
If we talk about the leadership of current Indian cricket, then the name of fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is seen revolving around it. Bumrah, famous for his dangerous bowling along with speed, variation and yorker bowling, is currently a great player in all three formats of the Indian team.
So at this time Rohit Sharma is almost at the last stage of his career and at this time Jasprit Bumrah is seen at the forefront to replace Rohit in the Test team. However, he may get some good challenge from KL Rahul.
However, in international cricket it is rarely seen that a fast bowler is captaining the team. But at this time Pat Cummins is doing this work very well for Australia. Under his captaincy, the team has won not only the Cricket World Cup 2023 but also the World Test Championship.
So when Jasprit Bumrah was asked about captaincy in the longest format of the game, he was quoted by NDTV as saying – He (Pat Cummins) plays for Australia and is seen playing in different matches.
This is something that many fast bowlers have not done. But he is a good example. Fast bowlers are clever and work hard. They know what to do when and how to do it in the game.
Also, let us tell you that Jasprit Bumrah has taken command of India in the Edgbaston Test match against England. In this match, he made a unique record in his name by scoring 35 runs in one over of Stuart Broad. However, he has been given the responsibility of vice-captain in the Indian team against England. This is going to be a tough test here not only for his leadership skills but also his bowling skills.
