Australian batter Travis Head praised Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah ahead of the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, calling him one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time. Bumrah’s exceptional performance in the first Test, where he took eight wickets, led India to a resounding victory in Perth. Head acknowledged the challenge of facing Bumrah but also expressed excitement at the opportunity to play against such a talented bowler.
With Bumrah set to hand back the captaincy to Rohit Sharma for the second Test, Head believes that the Indian pacer could pose an even greater threat, especially under lights with the pink ball. Despite being dismissed by Bumrah in the first Test, Head remains confident in his abilities and is focused on delivering a strong performance in the upcoming match at the Adelaide Oval.
Reflecting on the heavy loss in the opener, Head emphasized the team’s need to quickly move on and focus on their preparation for the second Test. He acknowledged that India, as the current holders of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, have the upper hand in the series but remains determined to bounce back and level the playing field.
Australia, who last won the bilateral Test series against India in 2014-15, are eager to put up a strong fight and reclaim the coveted trophy. As both teams gear up for the second Test, cricket fans can expect an intense battle between the two sides as they compete for supremacy on the cricket pitch.
