Australia cricket team players just can’t seem to get over the Jasprit Bumrah nightmare in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and Mitchell Marsh was the latest to accept it. The all-rounder revealed how he was still troubled by the premium Indian pacer even after the series, this time in the form of his own kin. Marsh, who played the first 4 Tests against India, was dismissed on three occasions by Bumrah during the series.
Marsh still can’t get over Bumrah nightmare
Speaking at Australian Cricket Awards ceremony, Marsh revealed that his 4-year-old nephew had troubled him just like Bumrah did while playing backyard cricket. He said that Ted had come up with the Indian pacer’s action which led to his nightmare continuing.
“My little nephew, Ted, is four years old. We played backyard cricket the other day, and he came in with Bumrah’s action, and the nightmare continues,” said Marsh

Bumrah finished as India’s highest wicket-taker in the IND vs AUS Test series, with 32 wickets to his name at an average of 13.06. Not only was he India’s most overworked bowler in the series but was also the best pacer, carrying the load of the entire bowling unit on his back. He could have added more wickets to his tally but unfortunatley suffered a back spasm during the 1st innings of the 5th Test that saw him stay off the field for the remainder of the game.
