Brisbane, December 16, 2024.
Jasprit Bumrah on Monday defended the struggling Indian team in Australia and played down talk of additional pressure on him, saying it’s a side in transition and given his experience, it’s his “job” to shoulder extra responsibility.
Having taken a seemingly erroneous call of bowling first in the third Test at the Gabba here, India conceded a huge first-innings total of 445 despite Bumrah returning 6/76.
In response, the visitors were 51/4 on a rain-hit third day with questions being raised about batters’ technique and the quality of bowling, save for Bumrah.
