India's Jasprit Bumrah will go down as "one of the greatest fast bowlers to play the game", Australia's Travis Head said on Monday, ahead of the day-night Test in Adelaide this week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Stand-in skipper Bumrah took eight wickets in the first Test to help the visitors to a crushing 295-run victory last week in Perth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 30-year-old is set to hand the captaincy back to regular skipper Rohit Sharma for the second Test starting on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Unburdened by leadership duties, Bumrah could be even more of a threat under lights with the pink ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Jasprit is probably going to go down as one of the greatest fast bowlers to play the game," top-order batsman Head told reporters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We're finding that at the moment, how challenging he can be, and it's nice to play against that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"It's going to be nice to look back at your career and tell the grandkids that you faced him, so it's not a bad series to play in with him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"But hopefully I only have to face (him) a few more times. He's been challenging."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Head top-scored for Australia with 89 in the hosts' second innings in Perth, and he will be on familiar territory on his home turf at the Adelaide Oval.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But for all that, the 30-year-old said: "It's just another week -- go and prepare and go in fresh and hopefully I can roll out the same sort of performances.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"It's going to be a challenge but I feel like I'm moving well, feel like I'm in a good space and go out and try and execute that."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He said that the hosts, who came into the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series as favourites, had quickly got over the shock of their heavy loss in the opener.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"The writing was on the wall pretty quickly in that Test match that we were pushing it uphill," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"So for me it was reflecting in-game what we could have done better by the time that result had come.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
