Former Australia fast bowler Brett Lee has praised Bumrah, calling him `world class` and lamenting the lack of consistent support from other bowlers. Lee noted that while India has good pacers, Bumrah's exceptional quality makes him bear the majority of the bowling load. This dependence on Bumrah has been evident throughout the series, with Mohammed Siraj being the only other experienced pacer in the Indian squad.
Bumrah's performance has been crucial in keeping the five-Test series evenly poised at 1-1. The third Test in Melbourne is set to begin on December 25, and India will be hoping that Bumrah can continue his form to help the team secure a win. However, the absence of Shami remains a concern, with captain Rohit Sharma expressing the need for updates on Shami's rehabilitation from his ankle surgery.
