SUPPORT FOR BUMRAH HOLDS KEY

The level of Jasprit Bumrah's dominance in the three Tests played so far in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy has been such that it has become India's biggest strength and also its unavoidable weakness with the benchmark he is setting.

With 21 wickets in three Tests, Bumrah is on top of the bowling charts for the series with the next highest wicket-takers being the Australian pace duo of skipper Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc with 14 wickets apiece.

The next best Indian bowler is Mohammad Siraj with 13 wickets in three Tests.

The story of Bumrah also tells the trajectory of India's fortunes in the series and gives a sneak peek into the challenges that lie ahead with the crucial Boxing Day Test in Melbourne and the fifth Test in Sydney.
