Bumrah took 8 wickets in both the innings of that Test match and for this he was chosen Player of the Match. In the match, India achieved a spectacular victory within four days and took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. After seeing the brilliant bowling in that match, former England cricket team fast bowler Steven Finn has praised Jasprit Bumrah’s performance in the first Test match against Australia. Finn praised him a lot and even said that he is the best player in the world. Speaking with former England captain Alastair Cook on TNT Sports, Steven Finn said, “Jaiswal scored a brilliant 161, but he is the player I like to watch. That is Jasprit Bumrah. I think he really is the best player in the world. Honestly, sometimes I think bowling like him is a joke! You see him bowling and you just think, I’m glad I don’t have to come out to bat.” He further said, “I was surprised that India went there (Australia) and defeated Australia, where usually it is very difficult to go and play cricket. Perth, I know it’s not the WACA; I know it’s a new stadium, but still, historically, Australia hasn’t lost many matches there. I thought India performed very bravely there.” Let us tell you that, Bumrah now has 118 wickets in 27 Test matches in SENA countries at an impressive average of 22.55, which also includes his career best performance (6/33). During this period, he has taken five wicket hauls 7 times, which is equal to Kapil Dev.

Talking about his performance and the criticism he has faced in recent times, former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja gave his statement and backed Kohli to perform even better. Ajay Jadeja said, “Doubters can rest in peace…the name says it all. If there were doubters, they can rest in peace. Talents are not born overnight.” Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli Talking about Virat Kohli, this legendary batsman was retained by IPL (Indian Premier League) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs 21 crore before the new season of the tournament. Apart from this, Bengaluru also added many players to their squad in the recently concluded IPL mega auction. However, many have come forward and discussed a possible captain for RCB in IPL 2025. Recently, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has expressed his opinion on this and said that RCB has probably made up its mind to choose Virat Kohli as its next captain. Chopra said, “When they have not picked anyone, they have probably made up their mind to go back to Virat Kohli and he will be the captain of this team once again. He also thought that he would not choose anyone who was with him.”

In the first Test played in Perth, Labuschagne looked completely out of form against the Indian fast bowlers led by Jasprit Bumrah and could score only 2 runs in 52 balls and 3 runs in the second innings. In that match, Australia had to face a crushing defeat of 295 runs. Smith also struggled against Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj in the first Test match. This star batsman of Australia could not open his account in the first innings, whereas in the second innings he scored 17 runs on 60 balls. Ponting gave important advice to Smith and Labuschagne before Adelaide Test Ricky Ponting said in the ICC review, “Of all the batsmen in Perth, Marnus was seen struggling the most. It is true that the wicket was difficult and the Indian bowlers were bowling brilliantly but they have to find a way to change it. For this, the former Australia captain gave the example of Kohli, who was out after scoring five runs in the first innings and was out in the second innings. Was successful in making a comeback by scoring 100 unbeaten runs. Ponting said, “Virat trusted his game and he looked like a different player in the second innings compared to the first innings. Instead of fighting the opposing team, he focused on his strong points. That’s what Marnus and Smith need to do – find their way and show strong intentions.” Ponting asked the Australian batsmen to take more risks and put pressure on the Indian bowlers. “You have to find a way to take risks and put pressure on the bowlers because we all know that bowlers like Bumrah will not give you easy opportunities to score runs,” he said.

Indian cricket team’s chief selector Ajit Agarkar is in Australia and has been asked to stay there for the entire tour. Recently, after the crushing defeat in the home Test series against New Zealand, Team India is being made fun of in the entire cricket world. It has only been a few days since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach and ever since he took charge of the team, the performance of the team has not been that good. In such a situation, in the coming time, India may get to see some new players in every format. The team management has also started preparations for this. Ajit Agarkar will be in Australia during BGT According to the report of Times of India, the selectors and coaches want to know from the senior players about their future plans regarding their career. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin are all aged 35 or older. Of these, Ashwin has been playing Test cricket continuously for many years. Now these players will have to tell how they are seeing their career going forward. The BCCI source said, “Both Agarkar and Gambhir know that such a poor performance in India will lead to widespread criticism, which is justified. Since it is a long tour, both can sit together and discuss how things can be taken forward after the tour. It will take at least one and a half years for both of them to build a strong backup team. This is where both have to be on the same page about the process.” India has to play some matches of the World Test Championship and big tournaments like Champions Trophy in the coming days. India will not have much time for this and in this they will try their best to retain their core team. However, after this they are planning to make big changes in the team which especially includes the T20 format.
