In the first Test match played in Perth during the Australia tour, Jasprit Bumrah made a significant impact. Leading the team as captain, he showcased his exceptional bowling skills and secured a victory. The Australian batsmen struggled to cope with Bumrah’s fiery deliveries.
The second Test of the series will be a pink-ball match held in Adelaide. Before this match, former Indian player Madan Lal shared some important insights. He predicted that the Australian team would face tough challenges against Bumrah’s lethal bowling. In an exclusive interview with S Kannan, a senior writer from a partner site, Madan Lal commented on Bumrah’s bowling action, noting that while some may find it unusual, he is a force to be reckoned with against batsmen. With a short run-up and a wide variety of deliveries, Bumrah is proving to be a world-class bowler, and all the credit goes to his hard work. Madan Lal emphasized that Bumrah can deliver everything from bouncers to yorkers, and he can swing the ball both ways. He believes that Australian batsmen will find it extremely difficult to face him.
Madan Lal also pointed out that Bumrah is not concerned about what the Australian batsmen have achieved. Even if someone has scored 7,000 runs, it won’t matter; Bumrah will not let them off easily. He is confident that the Australian batsmen will struggle against him. Highlighting the importance of fast bowlers in winning matches, Madan Lal credited former captains Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli for significantly supporting fast bowlers during their leadership. He noted that the results are evident today.
