Captain Bumrah
Business Standard|November 16, 2024
Jasprit Bumrah, the once-in-a J generation fast bowler, who has captained India in a solitary Test match and a couple of T20 internationals so far, has no qualms about picking himself as the "greatest Indian captain."
VISHAL MENON

"My favourite captain is me. Fm the greatest captain," Bumrah proclaimed in an interview for a leading publication earlier this year.

Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir confirmed the 30-year-old fast bowler as the stand-in captain for the opening Test ofthe Border Gavaskar Trophy in Perth next week, if incumbent Rohit Sharma opts out due to personal reasons. If Sharma remains unavailable in Perth, Bumrah will walk out for the toss with Pat Cummins, another talented pacer who was picked to lead Australia three years ago.

Apart from the one-off Test from Ray Lindwall in 1956, Australia has never appointed a fast bowler to skipper their team in the game's longest format. All-rounders Monty Noble and Jack Ryder were captains more than a century ago, while Richie Benaud, another all-rounder, led Australia from 1958 to 1964.
