Bumrah led from the front in the first Test against Australia, taking five wickets in the first innings to help India take a lead of 46 runs after the team was all out for 150 in the first innings. In the end, Bumrah's second Test as captain was a memorable one as India registered a stunning 295-run win in Perth. Damien Fleming said that Jasprit Bumrah knows his strengths and he knows how to work on the weaknesses of the opponents. “He's just the Terminator, isn't he?” Fleming told the Sydney Morning Herald.
“He knows his strengths and he always tries to find his weakness. I think he does it instinctively, and it's not a long run-up, but I can see he's reviewed that ball, and then he's planning the next ball,” he said . Damien Fleming remembers Bumrah's slow ball to Shaun Marsh Speaking to Sydney Morning Herald, Damien Fleming also remembers Bumrah's slow ball to Shaun Marsh during the lunch break in the Melbourne Test during the 2018-19 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Did.
“Shaun Marsh's dismissal in the pre-lunch over at the MCG in 2018 is famous. I was commentating at the time, and I could almost guess what was going to happen, just push him backwards, so that his weight was on the backfoot, and then he bowled a brilliant slower ball and dropped it,” he said. Said.
“It will either be a slow ball or a fast yorker. So I think he is very clever, but now he has all the skills – outswingers, inswingers, off-cutters, slow balls, great yorkers, bouncers,” he said. Speaking further, Fleming said, “So when you have more skills, you have more options. Like the Terminator, he is always chasing the batsmen. And the batsmen know that, but they are still unsure.” Not only does he have a wide skill set, but he executes it better than anyone in world cricket.” India will now look to extend their lead to 2-0 when they take on Australia in the pink-ball Test starting in Adelaide from December 6.
