I Was Just Getting Bumrah'd; He’s Toughest Bowler I Have Ever Faced: Khawaja
Usman Khawaja: Australia opener Usman Khawaja said India’s fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is the toughest bowler he's ever faced in his cricketing career, adding in jest that he was just getting ‘Bumrah’d’ in the entire Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
Bumrah took 32 wickets in five matches at an average of 13.06 and a strike rate 28.37 to clinch Player of the Series award, though it wasn’t enough in India avoiding a 3-1 series defeat.
"I was just getting Bumrah'd. It's a shame he was (injured) but thank god for us. Today would've been an absolute nightmare facing him on that wicket. As soon as we didn't see him out there we thought 'alright, we've got a chance here'. He's the toughest bowler I've ever faced," said Khawaja on ABC Sport after the series ended in a six-wicket win for Australia at Sydney.
