Net sessions can often be entertaining as one gets to witness the ‘beyond the scenes’ of renowned cricketers. Similarly, India-turned-Australian reporter Bharat Sunderasan caught Jasprit Bumrah emulating Ravichandran Ashwin to mark Thursday’s practice session ahead of the Gabba Test.
Australia equalized the tally 1-1 in the five-match Border Gavaskar Trophy after an emphatic ten-wicket win against India at the Adelaide Oval. As a result, Rohit Sharma’s return to captaincy didn’t quite go well with the passionate Indian fans as Bumrah led the troop to a memorable victory in Perth, which the former failed to achieve. With the focus shifting to Brisbane, Bumrah was in the spotlight two days before match day due to his bag of tricks.
One of the videos circulating on social media caught Bumrah bowling leg-spin at the practice session. He tried to flight the ball with Ashwin beside the pacer. Soon, he started emulating the 37-year-old’s bowling action and sprayed a couple of deliveries at the batter. However, this did not go on for long as Bumrah fastracked into pace bowling in quick time, prompting the Twitterverse into a frenzy.
Right arm leg spin!
Jasprit Bumrah started off with a couple of leg-breaks alongside R Ashwin but he’s now running in hot & bowling at full tilt, being an absolute handful to KL Rahul & Yashasvi Jaiswal

Fitness concern
Rohit's fitness is surely a concern,but, India is losing matches because of bowling & NOT batting. In absence of a fit Shami,India is reliant on 1 bowler in Bumrah,which will only get tougher as the volume of matches add up..It's simply not possible,unless other bowlers step up.

The highest
The 2021 English Test summer had an average of 1.26° of swing, the highest in the last five years.

Joe Root in the 2021 summer, against an Indian bowling attack that consisted of Bumrah, Siraj, and Shami:
109 Trent Bridge
180* Lord's
121 Headingley
Good cricket
Because Aussies know that good cricketers have bad days, but they perform when it matters the most. When India didn't have Bumrah for roughly 2 yrs on and off, Siraj was a new guy who was criticized everywhere. He still won so many games, BGT'21, ODI No1 bowler, Asia Cup. RESPECT
