Jasprit Bumrah, widely regarded as one of the best fast bowlers in modern cricket, is being seen as a strong contender to succeed Rohit Sharma as India’s full-time Test captain. Although he has only captained India in five matches so far, Bumrah has shown promising leadership qualities, earning praise from Australian cricket legend Allan Border.
Jasprit Bumrah recently led India as a stand-in captain during the first Test of the ongoing five-match series against Australia, with Rohit Sharma unavailable. Under his captaincy, India secured an impressive 295-run victory in Perth.
Allan Border, one of cricket’s greatest captains who led Australia in 93 Test matches, was particularly impressed with Bumrah’s tactical acumen during the match. He commended Bumrah’s ability to set effective field placements and manage his own bowling spells wisely.
“Bumrah will do a very good job. In Perth, he used himself properly and made smart decisions as captain. The way he set the fields was flawless,” Border said, as quoted by a leading publication.
