Centurion Dec 30, 2018 : .Since 2018, India has seen a remarkable increase in its pace bowling stock.India’s success in international Tests has been based on Jasprit Bhumrah’s rise in Test cricket, and his formidable partnership with Mohammed Shami.It was the same in Centurion.Shami threw 5/44 and beat Bumrah to score 197.Bumrah, Shami, and Dean Elgar combined their efforts to score crucial victories in the second innings to secure India’s first ever Test victory at SuperSport Park.
KL Rahul understoodably said that the Indian team was lucky to have a fast-bowling attack with such fiery pacers, despite their scaring their batsmen during training sessions.
It is very positive.
It is difficult to play in the nets with them because batsmen such as me, and others don’t like playing so much in the nets.These guys make us nervous and don’t regard us as teammates when we are facing them in the nets,” Rahul said in the virtual presser, after India had won by 113 runs.
They are extremely competitive and it is a blessing to have them in our team.Two to three individuals are outside who have shown themselves to be exceptional fast bowlers: Umesh Yadav and Shihant (Sharma).We also have a great bench strength.Rahul said that Team India’s fast bowlers are a positive sign.
In Test cricket, Bumrah is a constant force to be reckoned with.He produced two pearls on day four that left cricketing fans ecstatic.
Bumrah smashed one against Rassie van den Dussen.It came in viciously outside the off stump and crashed into the off stump, leaving the left-handed batter shell-shocked.
Bumrah hit a sharp yorker that smashed Keshav Maharaj to the ground in the last ball.Bumrah worked hard on day five to catch Dean Elgar, the defiant left-hander.
Rahul saw all of the action from the slip cordon and expressed his willingness for him to observe Bumrah until the time he is playing for India.
“I’d love to go there until Jasprit plays cricket.It’s an ideal position.Shami and Jasprit were both really pushing it yesterday.The bowlers were very enthusiastic and fast.The boys were very excited to be running and hitting the deck.When Shami, Siraj or Bumrah bowl, slips are a good position.It is a great position and I’d love to be there.
Shami’s upright seam position was just as dangerous as Bumrah.He found the smallest of movements to remove batters with weak outer edges, and even got some bounce to get more to go in.
Mohammed Shami has put in many performances similar to this over the past 3-4 years.His bowling has been very important and he’s been an excellent player in every situation.Shami’s year was special, and Rahul hoped he could continue improving and be as good in 2022.” India is blessed to have a number of talented pacers.
