    BGT 2024-25: No Greater Honour To Lead India In Test Cricket, Says Bumrah Ahead Of Series Opener

    Jasprit Bumrah: India pacer and stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah is swelled with pride to lead the country for the second time in Test cricket on Friday. The speedster is set to don the captain's hat in the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma, who will miss the match due to the birth of his second child, in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy opener against Australia in Perth.

    The 30-year-old will not only captain the side but also spearhead the pace bowling attack on Perth pitch which is known for its pace and bounce. Bumrah shared that it was his dream to play Test cricket for India and sees himself as the one who likes tough tasks. "I love responsibility, I wanted to do the tough job since I was a child. You know you always want to be in the thick of things and always wanted to be thrown against tough scenarios," Bumrah said in a video posted by BCCI on X.

    Describing his leadership skills, the speedster emphasised following natural instincts rather than copybook style. "I've always never followed a copybook plan, I go with my instincts and I've always wanted to add more. This adds a new challenge to me. There's no greater honour than this that as a child I always wanted to play this format and lead India in Test cricket. I'm very privileged and very happy to be in this position," he added.
