Rain Disrupts Kanpur Test, Bumrah Eyes Border-Gavaskar Trophy

The ongoing Test match between India and Bangladesh has faced severe delays, with two days lost due to a wet outfield and persistent rain. India, coming off a strong performance, still has a prime opportunity to secure a 2-0 series victory. However, the larger challenge on the horizon is the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and all eyes are on one key player—Jasprit Bumrah.

Bumrah, one of India’s most formidable bowlers, recently shared his thoughts on the upcoming challenge. In an interview before the Kanpur match, he expressed his love for the traditional format.

“For me, my favorite format is the Test format. I’ve said it before as well that I wanted to play this format, and I’m doing that now. Good to get some overs under the belt and build up those overs. The number of overs we bowl in Australia will be a lot more,” Bumrah said.

Known for his lethal pace and accuracy, Bumrah is a force to reckon with in any format of the game. His unique bowling action and ability to consistently trouble even the world’s best batters make him a vital asset for India, especially with the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.

Despite the weather setbacks in Kanpur, India remains optimistic. With Bumrah building form and the team’s momentum strong, a series win remains within reach.

More importantly, Bumrah’s presence will be crucial as India heads to Australia, where the bowlers will be tested over long spells on challenging pitches.

The cricketing world will be watching closely as Bumrah gears up for what could be a defining series in his Test career.
