Star India pacer Jasprit Bumrah's unorthodox bowling action and exceptional skillset makes him a "complete package," according to Australia's premier batter Steve Smith.
Leading India in the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma, Bumrah was adjudged 'Player of the Match' after claiming eight wickets, including a fivewicket haul in the first innings, to power the visitors to a 295-run victory in the opening Test.
"From the start of his run-up, it's just all awkward," Smith told the Sydney Morning Herald.
"The way he runs in is different to pretty much anyone else, then the last bit of his action is different. I've faced him a reasonable amount now, and each time you face him it takes a few balls just to get the rhythm of it in a way."
Smith was among Bumrah's victims during a devastating opening spell in the first innings, where the pacer tore through the Australian top-order.

A promising premise undone by predictable execution
The title Divorce Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega suggests a tantalizing premise-something noirish, audacious, or at least unconventional. Instead, the seven-episode series delivers a tepid rom-com that never quite fulfills its potential. For a show ostensibly about daring escapades and marital mishaps, it's puzzlingly timid, meandering into a predictable love story that feels more stale than sensational.
