Jasprit Bumrah becomes 290th player to play for BCCI. Not sure about team but he got cap so he will play first test.
 
I'm not making any allegations here but is Jasprit Bumrah's action 100% clean? There is an obvious jerk that is visible to the naked eye.

He's bowled not-too-bad thus far but some of his deliveries look like he's chucking.
 
Should fix his no ball issues it costs us dearly.

Start of his career has been phenomenal, what will define his legacy are years 2019-2023 if he can maintain the same level in next 5 years he will go down as possibly the best Indian bowler (Pace) ever. If not then he might go down as Irfan Pathan or Ishant Sharma level.
 
Indian pacers were up to the mark on the first day of their ..

Former Australia pacer Mitchell Johnson, who took time out from his Karnataka Premier League (KPL) commentary stint, spoke to TOI on the Indian pace attack, working with the likes of Bumrah and Hardik Pandya during his time with the Mumbai Indians in the IPL among others.

Excerpts:

<br>
<strong><br>What are your views on KPL and the quality of talent coming through from the league?</strong>
<br>
<br>I think what have seen is good young talent that has come out of KPL and its a great platform for the players for their T20 cricket and furthermore. With the IPL in the sights for a lot of these young kids, I think KPL is a great tournament. What impressed me more was that some of the senior players as well played the tournament. Players such as Robin Uthappa, Stuart Binny and Vinay Kumar led the way and showed the young kids what it takes to play the game at top level.
<br>
<strong><br>Is the current Indian pace attack the most potent you have seen in recent years?</strong>
<br>
<br>There is a lot of talent and the current Indian fast bowlers have got pace and skills to back it. They have a lot of firepower. Whether it’s the most potent, we will have to wait and see.
<br>
<br>
<strong>How do you assess the growth of Bumrah?</strong>
<br>Bumrah has impressed me from Day 1. I remember facing him in the (Mumbai Indians) nets and he hit me on my helmet with a short ball and I thought he was quick. He keeps things simple and doesn’t try to overcomplicate things. There was a point when batsman had started to get on top of him and we had a chat regarding this. I told him that he needed to think ahead of the game. He is in the right environment at the moment and is getting better with each match. Bumrah’s pace coupled with his accuracy is impressive.
<br>
<strong><br>You have also played alongside Pandya at MI. How do you see him shaping as an allrounder in the coming years?</strong>
<br>
<br>It’s such a hard role and it takes time to be an allrounder. It doesn’t happen overnight. You are batting, bowling, fielding and have to be switched on all the time. I think Virat understands that well. Pandya is a guy who is extremely competitive and hates to lose. At the same time, he also wants to learn. He is a young man who has got talent and is getting better every day.
<br>
<strong><br>Kohli has been in form. From your experience, how does a bowler approach a batsman of Kohli's class?</strong>
<br>
<br>When you are bowling to class players like Virat or Sachin Tendulkar or Ponting, you have to forget that they are greats and back your skills. Some people get caught in that and once you do that you have no chance really.
<br>
<strong><br>Will the upcoming Asia Cup provide teams a platform to test their weapons ahead of the World Cup next year?</strong>
<br>
<br>It’s an important tournament and teams will want to work on their balance and combinations keeping in mind the World Cup. Teams will also want to give a lot of young guys a chance as well.
<br>
<strong><div class="last1brdiv"></div><br>With the Asia Cup happening in Dubai this time and Pakistan playing majority of the cricket there, do you think they will have an edge over India?<br></strong>
<br>Yes, because they will know the conditions well and have the crowd behind them. But it all boils down to the pressure situation and playing those big moments.
<br>
<br>
<strong>Where would you rank the India-Pakistan rivalry vis-a-vis the Australia-England or even the Trans-Tasmanian battles between Oz and New Zealand?</strong>
<br>
<br>The India-Pakistan rivalries are quite intense and teams are quite fierce. Both teams don’t back down. I think it’s hard to compare other teams’ rivalry. A Pakistan-India series has the same intensity as the Ashes but it’s hard to compare. Players from both sides must ensure emotions don’t come their way of cricket. It definitely can get a bit heated at times. But the skills of both the teams (India and Pakistan) are quite incredible.

<div class="last7brdiv"></div><br>
<strong>How do you look at the immediate future of Australian cricket with Warner and Smith not available?<br></strong>
<div class="last6brdiv"></div><br>It’s going to be a big gap which needs to be filled. The bowling stocks are good but the batting definitely needs to improve. You can find some really good batsman around the country and with the World Cup coming up a few of the batsmen from Australia ‘A’ could get chances.
<div class="last5brdiv"></div><br>
<div class="last4brdiv"></div><br>
<strong>What future do you see for yourself?</strong>
<div class="last3brdiv"></div><br>
<div class="last2brdiv"></div><br>I am keen on being mentor to young fast bowlers. I have just finished my career and want to spend some time with my family. If I were to become a full-time bowling coach, I have to be away from home again. So it’s not an option as of now.
