Jasprit Bumrah has been one of the best finds of Indian cricket recently and we have to thank the IPL for that. He is already the no.1 ranked bowler in the white ball cricket and now he is slowly but definitely moving up the ranks in Test cricket. His transformation from white ball to red ball cricket has been phenomenal.

In the first innings of Australia, they were 87 for 4 after the wicket of Usman Khawaja and then a partnership was developing between Peter Handscomb and Travis Head. Bumrah came into the attack and broke the partnership of 33 runs by picking up the wicket of Handscomb. He also picked up the wickets of Cummins and Starc in the first inning.

In the second innings, Bumrah was a game changer. He picked up three wickets and those three wickets turned the match into India's favour. First, he picked up the wicket of Shaun Marsh who was Australia's highest scorer in the second innings with 60 runs. Then he picked up wickets of Tim Paine (41) and Pat Cummins (28) which changed the course of the match.

Jasprit Bumrah was bowling constantly at the speed of higher 140s and he returned with a match figure of 6 for 115.
