The bowler then asked the Bharat Army how the idea of making a song came to their mind to which one of they replied: “People make a lot of song for batsmen, but we thought this is Test cricket and the bowlers will have a hard time. So, we wanted to keep them pumped up, and hence we made this song.”
The first Test between India and Australia will begin from Thursday in Adelaide. Kumar has not been included in the 12-man squad announced by the BCCI on Wednesday as they preferred Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ishant Sharma as the in the bowling unit.
