BGT 2024-25: Captaincy Is Responsibility; Not A Title, Says Bumrah
Known for his ability to stay calm in high-pressure situations, Bumrah shared his perspective on being a captain, emphasising that it’s a significant responsibility rather than just a title. "I don’t look at captaincy as a post but I have always loved responsibility. I wanted to do the tough job since I was a child. You want to do things and get thrown in tough scenarios, this adds a new challenge for me," he said in the pre-match press conference.
Although this is just a one-off assignment, as Rohit will be available from second Test at Adelaide, Bumrah’s demeanour and approach hinted at his willingness to take on a leadership role in the future. "Obviously, I won’t be telling Rohit ki main kar leta hoon (I would do this) (laughs). He is our captain and he is doing a wonderful job and right now it’s one game and you don’t know what will happen tomorrow.
