Team India is all set to take on Australia in the first Test of the five-match series at the Optus Stadium in Perth. The IND vs AUS 1st Test is set to be played from 07:50 AM IST (Indian Standard Time) from November 22 and both teams will walk into the ground with the intention of taking a lead in the series. The Indian team is set to be led by Jasprit Bumrah in the absence of Rohit Sharma and he will look forward to bring his fire in captaincy as well which he showcases with the ball. Bumrah has been explicit form ever since he has returned from injury and will hope on continuing the same in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 as well.

While Jasprit Bumrah is majorly known for his cool and calm body language, the right-handed Indian pacer wasn’t pleased by a reporter’s question ahead of the IND vs AUS 1st Test. The right-handed Indian pacer asked about his feeling of being a medium-pace all-rounder and leading the side. However, Bumrah was quick enough to correct the reporter’s question and stated that he bowls around 150 kmph and isn’t a medium pace bowler. The reporter asked, “How does it feel to captain India as a medium pace all-rounder?”, replying to the reporter, Jasprit Bumrah said, “Yaar, I can bowl 150kmph, at least you say fast bowler captain.”

Jasprit Bumrah led the Indian team during a Test match against England played in 2022. However, Team India ended up losing the match. Apart from leading the side, Bumrah will have the responsibility of anchoring a young pace attack which doesn’t have much experience. The Indian team suffered a shocking loss against New Zealand in the three-match home Test series and will look forward to comeback with a bang.
