**Adelaide, Australia –** Australian batsman Travis Head has lauded Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, calling him one of the greatest to ever play the game, ahead of the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Adelaide. Head, who faced Bumrah in the first Test, acknowledged the challenge posed by the Indian captain, stating it would be a privilege to say he played against such a formidable bowler.
Bumrah, who took eight wickets in Perth’s first Test, is relinquishing the captaincy to Rohit Sharma for the Adelaide match. Despite this, Head anticipates Bumrah to be even more dangerous under lights with the pink ball. While hoping to face Bumrah “a few more times,” Head expressed excitement about the prospect of telling his grandkids about playing against such a legendary fast bowler.
Despite Australia’s crushing defeat in the opening Test, Head confirmed the team has moved on, focusing on the upcoming day-night match. He expressed confidence in his own form and the team’s ability to rebound in Adelaide. The second Test, beginning Friday, is crucial for Australia, who aim to level the series after India’s 1-0 lead. India currently holds the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, having won the series in 2022-23.
