Taking 20 wickets biggest challenge for Bumrah & Co
The Morning Standard|November 21, 2024
ONE of the main reasons for India's success in the longest format when Ravi Shastri, as head coach, and Virat Kohli, as captain, were at helm was their ability to take 20 wickets.

Back then, the sport was going through a pace pandemic and India had three top pacers in Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma, with Umesh Yadav and others chipping in. The emphasis, more often than not, was on taking the pitch out of the equation and picking up 20 wickets no matter where they play.

In 2024, things are not the same. Globally there seems to be a paradigm shift in how pitches play. They are predominantly batting-friendly, which means the quality of the pace attack becomes all the more important. Now, the Perth Stadium, where India will take on Australia in the first of the five Tests on Friday, is not a batting paradise as such. It is expected to have pace, bounce and assist the fast bowlers.
