Jasprit Bumrah game for new direction, more responsibility

One highly sought-after star in Indian cricket’s top ranks is pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Jasprit Bumrah, who was renowned for his deadly fusion of quickness, variety, and accuracy, proved to be a vital asset for India in all disciplines. In the rumour mill regarding the captaincy going forward, particularly because Rohit Sharma is getting closer to thirty, Jasprit Bumrah shows promise.

The speedster is willing to take on the leadership role once more after leading the squad in a Test match against England. Wearing the captain’s hat is an uncommon sight for fast bowlers, Pat Cummins of Australia being one prominent exception. The right-arm pacer imagined a leadership role that goes beyond his bowling ability, and he considered following in Cummins’ footsteps.

“(Cummins) represents Australia; the quantity of games varies and such.” Few [seamers] have ever attempted it. However, it serves as a solid illustration that fast bowlers are intelligent individuals who work hard and have a good understanding of the game, according to Jasprit Bumrah, who was cited by NDTV.

Jasprit Bumrah previous performance as Test captain was noteworthy.

The Indian cricket squad was led by the yorker specialist in the rescheduled Edgbaston Test in March 2022. Now that the leadership role in the Test team is calling, he will have competition from the exciting KL Rahul. He takes over as vice-captain for the forthcoming Test match against England in Hyderabad, which will be historic since it will be his first home match since March 2022. This will be his eleventh Test match against England, a side he captained in the previous match because of Rohit Sharma’s absence from the Covid-19.

Even though India lost that historic game, the 30-year-old’s leadership made a lasting impression. In addition to his outstanding five-wicket haul, he made a significant impact at bat. He broke the record for most runs scored by a hitter in an over of a Test match when he hit an unbeaten 31 off 16 balls in the opening innings. Brian Lara was the previous record holder. His innings of 35 runs off Stuart Broad’s over brought an exciting new chapter to his tale as captain.
