Jasprit Bumrah has quickly become one of the top fast bowlers on the planet. After a series of consistent performances in the IPL and domestic cricket, Jasprit Bumrah earned a place in the Indian cricket team four years ago.

He has played 14 Tests, 64 ODIs, and 49 T20Is for the country so far, picking up over 200 international wickets. Jasprit Bumrah is at the seventh position in the ICC Test Rankings for bowlers, while in the 50-overs format, he stands second rank

When asked about the current Indian fast bowling attack, Marnus Labuschagne replied:

"They are all good bowlers but it is hard to get past Jasprit Bumrah. He has the ability to consistently bowl around 140 kmph and swing the ball when conditions are suitable. He is also able to angle the ball back in at the stumps. You always want to test yourself against the best. Jasprit is probably the leader of that attack."

Marnus Labuschagne then spoke about the veteran Indian fast bowler Ishant Sharma, who has played much cricket in Australia and will be India's key to success in the upcoming tour.

"Ishant has been very good during the last couple of years. Coming over here and angling the ball back into right handers, that would be a good challenge for us also," he continued.

The Indian cricket team is scheduled to visit Australia later this year. The two teams will compete in an ICC World Test Championship series.

Marnus Labuschagne is the leading run-scorer in the competition, with 1,249 runs in nine Tests. It will be intriguing to see how the Indian cricket team bowlers perform against the South Africa-born batsman.
