Australian fast bowler Pat Cummins showered praises for his Indian counterpart Jasprit Bumrah and said that the latter has speed and accuracy what sets him apart from others and is now a serious threat in all three formats of the game. Cummins, who hit the winning runs in the first T20 against India in Vizag on Sunday, has been in good form for his team. On the other hand, Bumrah has been one of the most consistent performers for India and his terrific 19th over in the first T20I was just epic.

As per the quotes in PTI, Cummins said, “He is obviously a class act. Two of the basics he does really well is that he bowls fast and he bowls accurately. Anyone who does that in world cricket will pose a real challenge for the batsmen. He has got a great slower ball, seems to have a great cricketing brain, executes his skills really well. He has done really well in all three formats and the one to watch out for.”

When asked about his personal form, Cummins said that he hasn’t played much in limited-overs cricket lately and he also sees it as a bigger challenge.

Cummins said, “I have not played too much white ball cricket, so looking forward to more of it. It is a bigger challenge with the ball not swinging as much as the red ball. I am pretty happy batting down at 8 or 9. I think my role in the team is just to survive and bat extra time. Hopefully, I have got a batsman at the other end who can really cash in, especially in Tests. I might have big shots like a lot of other batsmen, and I have really enjoyed it. Anyway, you can’t just prepare for a game as a bowler, you got to prepare for everything.”

Australia are a game away from a series win in India and if that happens, “it will be a huge result”, feels Cummins.
