Australia would not have even imagined that it would suffer such a defeat at the hands of India in its very first Test match. The Australian team, which was considered a contender for victory before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, has lagged behind in the beginning of the series. After the defeat in Perth, now the eyes are on the next match, which is to be held in Adelaide. Before this series, Australia’s star batsman Travis Head has praised a player of Team India, on whose strength Team India won in Perth. This player is star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, whose stories Travis Head would like to tell to his grandchildren.
Head will tell stories of Bumrah
Before the second Test match starting from 6th December in Adelaide, Travis Head said this interesting thing while answering the questions of the media. Praising the vice-captain of Team India, the explosive left-handed batsman said that Bumrah will be counted among the greatest bowlers in the history of cricket. Describing batting in front of Bumrah as challenging, Head said that he likes playing against the Indian bowler.
In the second innings of the Perth Test, Travis Head scored the highest score of 89 runs for Australia and kept the team in the competition. However, it was Bumrah who sealed Australia’s defeat by taking his wicket. Despite this, Head praised the Indian pacer a lot and said in a light tone that after many years, when he will remember his career, then he will be able to tell his grandchildren that he had faced Jasprit Bumrah. Head expressed hope that he will get a chance to bat against Bumrah in future also.
Wreaked havoc in Perth
30-year-old fast bowler Bumrah took command of Team India in the Perth Test in the absence of Rohit Sharma. Bumrah himself performed brilliantly like an ideal captain and ensured the team’s victory. Bumrah took 5 wickets in the first innings and 3 wickets in the second innings to give Team India a memorable win by 295 runs and also took a 1-0 lead in the series. Now he would like to repeat the same feat in the day-night test to be held in Adelaide, while Travis Head will try to deal with Bumrah.
