Sydney, January 1
Amid Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah’s impressive performance in the five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Australia, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese today mockingly suggested that a law could be enacted that would allow India to The fast bowler is forced to ‘bowl left-handed or bowl one step away’ against the host team. Bumrah, who is regarded as the world’s best fast bowler in all three forms of cricket, has troubled the Australian batsmen in the current Test series. Bumrah has taken 30 wickets in four Test matches so far.
Albanese, who hosted the Indian and Australian players in Sydney today, spoke to Bumrah in a jovial tone. The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Albanese said mildly, “We can pass a law here that Bumrah will have to bowl to the Australian batsmen left-handed or one step away.” Every time he has come to bowl, it has been exciting.” Australia lead the five-Test series 2-1. Bumrah completed his 200 wickets in Test cricket only during the fourth Test match played in Melbourne. This was the 44th Test match of the Indian bowler. -News-Patiala
