SYDNEY, DEC 2: India's Jasprit Bumrah will go down as "one of the greatest fast bowlers to play the game", Australia's Travis Head said on Monday, ahead of the day-night Test in Adelaide this week.
Stand-in skipper Bumrah took eight wickets in the first Test to help the visitors to a crushing 295-run victory last week in Perth.
The 30-year-old is set to hand the captaincy back to regular skipper Rohit Sharma for the second Test starting on Friday.
Unburdened by leadership duties, Bumrah could be even more of a threat under lights with the pink ball.
"Jasprit is probably going to go down as one of the greatest fast bowlers to play the game," top-order batsman Head told reporters.
"We're finding that at the moment, how challenging he can be, and it's nice to play against that.
"It's going to be nice to look back at your career and tell the grandkids that you faced him, so it's not a bad series to play in with him.
"But hopefully I only have to face (him) a few more times. He's been challenging." —AFP
