Jasprit Bumrah at His Best in First Two Tests of BGT 2024-25

Bumrah has been in impressive form with the ball in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The right-arm pacer led the team from the front in the Perth Test to secure a significant victory. He registered bowling figures of 8/72 in the series opener, where the Indian cricket team secured a massive 295-run win.

Bumrah picked up 4 wickets for 61 runs in Adelaide. He is the leading wicket-taker in the series with 12 scalps at an impressive average of 11.25. The pacer is also the highest wicket-taker in 2024 with 53 dismissals to his name. He aims to extend his dominance in the Brisbane Test starting on December 14.

Bumrah Will Find an Even More Helpful Foil in Akash Deep - Jatin Paranjpe

Former India batter and ex-selector Jatin Paranjpe said that Akash Deep's inclusion in India's playing XI would boost the team in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Paranjpe stated that Akash Deep is a more helpful partner for Jasprit Bumrah than Mohammed Siraj.

"I feel extremely confident that Akash Deep will play in both the Gabba Test and in the Melbourne Test and he will bowl exceedingly well. He bowls lengths similar to Mohammed Shami's and those lengths are the best lengths to bowl at. Bumrah will find an even more helpful foil in Akash Deep than he is finding in Mohammad Siraj right now."
