New Delhi. Ahead of the series against India, discussions have begun in the Australian cricket world about fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, whom Australian aggressive batsman Travis Head called the “X factor” and former fast bowler Brett Lee said he was like a cat , who performs miracles. Bumrah will captain India in the first Test starting November 22. Current and former Australian cricketers praised him ahead of the series.

Bumrah had taken 32 wickets against Australia in the last two Test tours, including six wickets in the 2018 Boxing Day Test. Travis Head told Fox Cricket: “It’s impossible to face him.” You think you’re one step ahead, but he is always one step ahead of you. He is great in every form of the game. He is the X factor and one of those who leaves his mark in every game. In big games you need big players and he is the biggest. He will cause trouble for the batsmen.

Bumrah’s bowling action is fantastic. Australian legend Brett Lee jokingly said: “He comes as quietly as a cat.” Usman Khawaja said: “When I first faced Bumrah, I thought: Where has he suddenly come from?” Because of his action and the way he as he leaves the ball, he comes a little too early.
