Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh thinks that without Jasprit Bumrah, India would have lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to Australia by a big score. Instead of a 3-1 series loss, it could have been 5-0!
Bumrah played amazingly well in the five-match series. He was the shining star, taking many wickets and causing trouble for the Australian batsmen. His best moment came in the first match in Perth, where he helped India to a fantastic 295-run win. Bumrah was the top wicket-taker of the series and finished with 32 wickets, breaking the record for the most wickets by an Indian in a Test series in Australia.
He had an impressive average of just 12.64 runs per wicket, which is remarkable! Bumrah took three five-wicket hauls, with his best performance being 6 wickets for 76 runs. Because of his outstanding play, Bumrah was named Player of the Series. Even Australian batsman Travis Head said it was the best individual performance he had seen. Harbhajan praised Bumrah on his YouTube channel, emphasizing that he was crucial for India. Without him, the series could have ended very differently, either 5-0 or 4-0 in favor of Australia.
