Team India's current best bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, is known as the team's rescue man. He has done some really great jobs which will always be remembered. Starting from the ICC ODI WC to the T20 WC to many more series and matches, his contributions will remain significant for Team India even in the future. Now that he's busy prepping for the Australia tour, he shared his success mantra with his fans.
During an interview with 7Cricket, Bumrah clearly said that 'self-belief' is the key to his success. Having the patience and belief in oneself can do wonders, and he vouced for it. Bumrah's role in the upcoming series will be pretty simple: taking wickets.
"Self-belief matters the most in any condition. When you focus on yourself and focus on your preparation, that puts you in a great position and everything else will take care of itself," Bumrah said to 7CRICKET.
Also, in the absence of Rohit Sharma, Bumrah will have to captain the team in the first Test match in Perth of the BGT series. This is exciting news for the player, as he mentioned a few years back that he is ready to take on the team's responsibility. The series is extremely crucial for India as it's the path to the qualification of the WTC 2025 finals.
As an Australian, I’d want Australia to keep him quiet: Michael Clarke
Michael Clarke, the former Australia batter, praised Virat Kohli for the kind of solid career he has had until now. Kohli is one of the best players in the team and will be looking forward to ending the dry spell with his bat. Hence, Clarke mentioned that Australians wouldn't be naive to trigger Kohli during the series.
"I am very sure he will score the maximum runs for India if they are to win or do well in this series. As an Australian, I’d want Australia to keep him quiet. If he gets runs in the first game, he will get runs all series and will make it count. He loves the fight, mate, and loves getting into the action. See the build-up around him. All of this will pump him up for sure," said Michael Clarke.
