History of Border-Gavaskar Trophy will change as soon as the toss takes place
Australia’s command in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is in the hands of Pat Cummins. At the same time, Jasprit Bumrah will captain Team India in the first match of the series. Actually, Rohit Sharma has not yet joined the team for this series and is the permanent captain of the Indian Test team. In such a situation, this big responsibility has been given to Jasprit Bumrah. This means that in the first match of the series, the command of both the teams will be in the hands of fast bowlers. This sight will be seen very rarely in the world of international cricket.
The first match of the series will be played at Optus Stadium in Perth. When Jasprit Bumrah and Pat Cummins come out to toss in this match, it will be recorded in the pages of history. In fact, this will be the first time in the history of Border-Gavaskar Trophy when two fast bowlers will be seen captaining in the same match. This scene had never been seen before in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This is the second time this year in international cricket when two fast bowlers will captain a test match. Earlier, Pat Cummins and Tim Southee had come to captain the same Test in Christchurch.
Jasprit Bumrah’s big test
This test is going to be very important for Jasprit Bumrah. This will be only the second time when he will captain the Indian Test team. Earlier, Bumrah had captained a Test against England in the year 2022. This match was played in England itself and the Indian team also had to face defeat. This means that Jasprit Bumrah will be eyeing to open the account of victory as captain this time. Even in the year 2022, he had captained in place of Rohit. Then Rohit Sharma was found Corona positive and missed playing the test match.
On the other hand, Pat Cummins has more captaincy experience than Bumrah. He has captained Australia in 28 test matches so far. During this period, Pat Cummins has won 17 matches and lost 6 matches. At the same time, 5 matches have been drawn. Apart from this, he has played 62 test matches and taken 269 wickets. At the same time, Bumrah has played 40 test matches and has taken 173 wickets in his name.
