IND vs AUS Test Series: At present in the cricket world, the fear of one bowler is being seen among the batsmen of every team, then it is Team India’s superstar Jasprit Bumrah. In the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 played against Australia in Perth, while Bumrah took 8 wickets in the match, his fear was clearly visible in the batsmen of the Kangaroo team. On the basis of Bumrah’s excellent bowling, Team India started this series with a win and has also taken a 1-0 lead. Now, Australian team’s leading batsman Steve Smith also praised Bumrah in a statement and also told what makes him completely different from other bowlers.
Bumrah’s bowling action is strange
Steve Smith, in his statement to Sydney Morning Herald, said about Bumrah that his bowling action is a bit strange compared to other bowlers, in which his runup is also completely different, in which the last movement of his action is also completely different. I have batted against Bumrah many times, it takes time to establish yourself at the crease in front of him. He comes very close and releases the ball, giving you very little time to understand his balls. Apart from this, he also has the art of swinging both new and old balls, in such a situation you will have to be very cautious while facing his balls.
Bumrah sent Steve Smith to the pavilion on the golden duck.
When Steve Smith came on the field to bat in the first Test match played in Perth, he was sent to the pavilion by Jasprit Bumrah on a golden duck. With this, Smith returned to the pavilion in this manner only for the second time so far in the Test. Earlier in the year 2014, in the test match against South Africa, Steve Smith was sent to the pavilion by Dale Steyn on a golden duck.
