Superstar Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been performing extraordinarily with the ball. His bowling is recent times has been spectacular and he is also one of the key player for India in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Bumrah is the leading wicket-taker in the current ongoing series as he has 12 wickets secured to his name.
Bumrah also made a change in his role as he captained the Indian team in the series opener as Rohit Sharma was absent from the match. However, he has captained the team before on a couple of ocassions as well.
Under the leadership of Bumrah, the Indian team registered a massive 295-run victory against Australia in the opening match of the series, which led to a massive talk about his captaincy.
Legendary cricketer Kapil Dev was asked about Bumrah’s future as a captain for the Indian Test team. However, the former all-rounder stated that Bumrah is one of the best when it is about captaincy, and stated that he should play a few more games as captain before people start judging him.
“I think it’s too early to say that with one good performance, you can’t say he (Jasprit Bumrah) is the best and with one bad performance you can’t say he does not deserve to be there. Let the player play more matches with a lot of captaincy as ups and downs will come then you judge that person and how he will react when the difficult time comes, not just at good times, we don’t judge but only talk about the good time, when he is down and out like Virat Kohli was, one of the best cricketers we have seen in our country, he is among the top four batters in the country so if he (Rohit Sharma) is going through a rough time, it is only up to him how fast he can bounce back and come back,” Kapil said in an interaction with the media.
Bumrah has performed well with the ball and has been an important player for India’s show in the series so far. The batting lineup has not done much other than in the second innings in Perth Test. Even cricketing legend Sunil Gavaskar has stated that Bumrah should be one of the players who have to appear in all the five matches of the series if India wants to gain an upper hand against Australia.
