On the eve of the opening Test of the latest tussle for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia at the Optus Stadium in Perth, Jasprit Bumrah had stressed on starting a new tradition of fast bowlers being handed Test captaincy.
"I can manage myself the best when I am the captain. I have always advocated for pacers being captains. Hopefully a start of a new tradition," he had said on Thursday.
On Friday, the star quick, standing in as India's captain for the Perth Test, tore through the Australian top-order with spectacular seam bowling to return with figures of 4 for 17 from his 10 overs, that left the hosts reeling at 67 for 7 in response to India's first innings total of 150.
Bumrah spoilt Nathan McSweeney's hopes of an impressive debut by trapping him off the pads with a fuller length delivery, before ensuring Steve Smith's shift back to his favoured No.4 position did not reap the desired results for the opposition.
