Jasprit Bumrah, India's star bowler, embodies excellence in modern cricket. He is known for his unique bowling action and unerring accuracy. Bumrah has consistently proven himself to be one of the finest pacers in the world. He has earned admiration from cricket stars and fans alike for his ability to adapt and excel across all three formats of the game. 

India will lock horns against Australia in the much-anticipated five-match Test series. Meanwhile, Australian batting maestro Steve Smith has praised the Indian speedster. In a recent interview with Star Sports, Smith lauded Bumrah, calling him “the best fast bowler over three formats.” 

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is set to kick off on November 22 in Perth, followed by matches in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney. This series will be exciting for Team India since they are leading the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 table and aiming for a historic third consecutive Test series victory on Australian soil. Steve Smith revealed the challenges of facing Bumrah. Smith said.

“He’s a wonderful bowler, whether I face him with the new ball, slightly older ball, or even the old ball. He’s got great skills with all of them. He’s a great bowler, arguably the best fast bowler across the three formats. It’s always going to be a challenge.”
