Australia Ready With Jasprit Bumrah’s Counterpunch
Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah proved out to be a major challenge for the Australian batters as the latter picked up eight wickets throughout the match. Bumrah will once again bring a new challenge for the Aussies once they play in Adelaide with the pink ball. However, Australian wicket-keeper batter Alex Carey is full of confidence that the Australian batters will find a solution to counter punch Bumrah. He said, “Oh, look, he’s a fantastic bowler and has been for years. Our batters are world-class and always find solutions. We’ve analysed him, and hopefully, we can handle his first and second spells better, getting him to bowl later with an older ball.”

“Travis’s counterpunch was effective, and I trust our batters to adapt. Not just Bumrah, but their other debutants also bowled well, and we’ll strategise accordingly”, he added. While, the Aussies will have a pressure of levelling the series, Rohit Sharma and Co doesn’t have any sweet memories at the Adelaide Oval. The Indian team registered its lowest score in Test cricket when they played at the venue last time and will have the challenge to forget all the bitter memories and come out on top.
