Jasprit Bumrah has been the standout performer for India in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, drawing significant praise from cricket legends. Despite India's patchy displays, Bumrah has consistently delivered impressive performances, showcasing his class and skill.

In the third Test in Brisbane, Bumrah took a six-wicket haul in the first innings and followed it up with three dismissals in the second innings. His contributions have been crucial in keeping India in the game, especially when the batting department has struggled. The pacer has averaged 9.81 against Australia's top seven, a stark contrast to the collective average of 42.79 by other Indian bowlers[1].

Former Australian coach Justin Langer has compared Bumrah to the legendary Wasim Akram, highlighting his exceptional skills and impact on the game. Langer's comments reflect the high regard in which Bumrah is held by cricket enthusiasts and experts alike[2][3].

While Mohammed Shami's absence due to knee issues has been felt, Mohammed Siraj has been trying to fill the void. However, Siraj has not always been able to find wickets at key moments, and the management has shuffled between Harshit Rana and Akash Deep to support Bumrah[1].

Bumrah's performance on Australian soil is particularly noteworthy, with 53 Test wickets at an average of 17.15, the most among Indians. His ability to scalp crucial wickets has been instrumental in keeping India in contention, despite the team's overall batting struggles.
