BGT 2024-25: Jasprit Bumrah Is One Of The Best In The World, Says Pat Cummins
Jasprit Bumrah: Australia captain Pat Cummins lauded his Indian counterpart Jasprit Bumrah by calling him one of the best bowlers in the world after he picked figures of 5-30 and 3-42 in the side’s 295-run win in the first Test at Perth Stadium on Monday.
“I thought he bowled really well. He's one of the best in the world. He's always going to be a challenge, so we got to come up with ways to combat that. I thought particularly that Day 1, his spell, the spell from the Indian guys, made it tricky for our team to navigate through. He bowled well through the game, like he does most games,” said Cummins in the post-match press conference.
He also backed top-order batter Marnus Labuschagne to bounce back strongly in the series, with the second game, a pink-ball match, to begin at Adelaide on December 6. Labuschagne made just two and three runs, respectively in Perth, adding more to his inconsistent performances in Tests, where he averages just 31.75 in 19 matches since 2023, a sharp decline from his overall average of 48.45.
