Words will fall short of describing how incredible Jasprit Bumrah is. The 30-year-old bowler from Gujarat has made a massive impact after making his debut for India. Blessed with sheer pace and accuracy, Bumrah has all the tools in his arsenal which is enough to make the ball talk and pose a threat to opposition batters. 

When India is in search of wickets, 9 out of 10 times Bumrah delivers for the team and proves why he is an asset to Team India. After making his test debut in 2018, Bumrah has tasted success in SENA countries and justified why he is regarded as the best bowler in this current generation.

Meanwhile, Australian batsman Travis Head showered praise on Jasprit Bumrah for his incredible display of bowling for India.

"Jasprit will go down as probably one of the greatest fast bowlers to play the game. I think we're finding that at the moment, how challenging he can be, and it's nice to play against that," Head said.

"It's gonna be nice to go back and look at your career and go tell the grandkids that you faced him. Hopefully, I'll face a few more times, but he has been challenging.’’ Head added. 

Stand-in skipper Bumrah’s special effort in Perth tilted the test in India’s favour and ensured victory by 295 runs. If India needs to qualify for the final of the World Test Championships next year, Bumrah needs to play a crucial role.

Bumrah’s performance also brought him another success as he reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the ICC Men’s Test Bowling Rankings.
