If Team India has one of the strongest Test bowling attacks, then Jasprit Bumrah has been of the architects. After making his debut at Newlands, Bumrah has come a long way by picking 113 wickets in 27 Test matches. He has been the leader of the bowling unit and does not shy away from challenges.

Under Kohli’s captaincy, Bumrah has picked seven five-wicket hauls and has won numerous matches for India. He has played most of his matches under Kohli and with 108 wickets in 67 games, he has been one of the best death bowlers as well. As India faces South Africa in the ODIs, he has been elected as the vice-captain of the Team.

Usually, it is difficult for any limited-overs bowler to adjust to the tough conditions of Test cricket. But, Virat Kohli’s aggressive style of play shaped Bumrah’s career perfectly. He could bowl with more freedom.
