Indian pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah has become one of the greatest bowlers of all time with his bowling action and pace. Bumrah has been picking wickets and is a key player of India’s squad in all three formats. India recently, under him, won the first test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy in dominant fashion, defeating Australia by 295 runs. And, Australia batter Travis Head feels Jasprit Bumrah will go down as “one of the greatest fast bowlers to play the game” and said he’ll proudly tell his grandchildren about him as well.

“Jasprit will go down as probably one of the greatest fast bowlers to play the game. I think we’re finding that at the moment — how challenging he can be, and it’s nice to play against that,” Head told reporters on Monday. “It’s gonna be nice to go back and look at your career and go tell the grandkids that you faced him. So not a bad series of playing with him. Hopefully I’ll face a few more times, but he is as being challenging,” he added.

“They are not coming to me for batting tips, that’s for sure. Everyone goes about it in different ways. We’ll have a chat over the next three or four days. (Bumrah) is so unique, and that’s with any of the bowlers, really. Every (batter) picks up different cues and goes about it in a different way,” he again shared.

The two sides will now take on each other in a pink ball Test in Adelaide from Friday at the same venue where India were bundled out for 36 in their previous visit in 2020.

“I remember that it was a quick test, so it was good. We got to enjoy all of the bits of Adelaide afterwards. It’ll be nice to do that again. Don’t know if we can revisit. It wouldn’t take very long to watch it. I don’t think that will happen this week,” he recalled. “It’s been a long time since we played one (pink ball), India got another look at it last night. Everyone’s well experienced enough, especially that team as well, that in your international level.”
