Calling himself a big fan of the India pace spearhead, Border said Bumrah has the potential to make a difference between the two sides in the much-anticipated rubber, starting in Adelaide from Thursday.

In Ishant Sharma’s absence, Kaif feels Umesh has gelled well with Shami and Bumrah and was impressive in the warm-up game.

The two combined to pick five wickets between themselves and conceded runs at just three an over in their 20-over combination, subsequently showing what a threat they will be in Adelaide next week.

Bumrah, 27, hit six fours and two sixes as he shared a 71-run partnership with Mohammed Siraj for the 10th wicket to take India to 194

For the visitors, Jasprit Bumrah notched up his maiden first-class fifty with an unbeaten 57-ball 55 after Prithvi Shaw (40) and Shubman Gill (43) made useful contributions at the top.

Jasprit Bumrah played a quickfire 55-run knock of just 57 deliveries and remained unbeaten for India in the second practice match against Australia A on Friday.

While Rohit has missed the series because of a hamstring injury he suffered during this year's IPL, Bumrah has been rested from the T20 matches keeping in mind the upcoming four-Test series against Australia.

Unlike the series opener in Canberra where he picked up the Man of the Match trophy with his 3 for 25 with seven dot balls, Chahal was rather expensive in his four-over spell in Sydney conceding 51 runs

Pattinson also believes it is a good lesson in not tinkering with bowling actions as is proven by Bumrah's success.

India cap of one of their forgettable calendar years with just three ODI wins. Just 2020 things, eh?

Bumrah ended with the unwanted feat after finishing wicketless in the five overs he bowled in the first Powerplay where he leaked 19 runs during the third and final ODI game of the series against Australia at the Manuka Oval in Canberra.  

Bumrah managed just a wicket each in two matches and was belted for 73 and 79 runs in the first and second game respectively.

The right-arm pace bowler has not just failed to pick enough wickets in the ODIs, he has also leaked more runs in the two ODIs in Sydney than he had in his first few one-dayers this year. 

It is expected that Shami and Bumrah, in the absence of an injured Ishant Sharma, will have to carry the bulk of the burden during the Test series.

Jasprit Bumrah could be seen giving suggestions to Kartik Tyagi in a series of pictures posted by the BCCI.  

Indian coach Ravi Shastri said Indian fast bowling quality gives them an edge over Australia; Calling the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Umesh Yadav and Navdeep Saini his fabulous five.

Steve Smith said that Neil Wagner is patient and consistent with his short ball approach, which might be very difficult to replicate for the Indian bowlers.

Shami has been seen primarily bowling with pink and red balls during net sessions, which is an indicator of where his and team's priorities lie.

While representing India in 14 Tests, 64 ODIs and 50 T20Is, Bumrah has scalped over 200 international wickets.
