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.

Bumrah just got to know that he will be captaining the Indian team on Thursday morning after Rohit Sharma returned one more positive test for Covid-19, ruling him out of the game.

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.

The team has settled on the openers for the game in Rohit’s nonattendance however Bumrah was not prepared to reveal that a day before the match.

Just over four years after he played his first Test for India, quick bowler Jasprit Bumrah is entering uncharted territory. Bumrah will be leading India in a Test for the first time in his career and that too for a vital clash that has been a year in the making. Bumrah is seeking inspiration from the incredible MS Dhoni who was made India captain regardless of not having prior experience in leading a team. He proceeded to become one of the greatest and most impactful leaders in the history of cricket.
