Accidental India captain Jasprit Bumrah felt leading the Indian team is the greatest accomplishment of his career and he would go into the rescheduled fifth Test recalling the wise words of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who had no captaincy experience but still achieved phenomenal success as a leader.
Taking on an in-form England side will be a major challenge however Bumrah is ready for it.
“The taste of success feels good when there is pressure. I am always up for responsibilities and I love to be in tough challenges. As a cricketer, you always want to test yourself in deep waters. I have spoken to many cricketers. Everybody improves and keep getting better,”
he said on the eve of the game.
It is rare for a fast bowler to lead the Indian team and Bumrah said it was a massive honour and responsibility. The pacer has encountered a brilliant rise in international cricket, remembering the five-day version in which he is just four seasons old, having made his Test debut in January 2018.
