“Bumrah is bowling well at the moment. He’s always tough. Hopefully, by the time I get to the end of the day, I’ll have bowled quite a bit, which might make things a little easier for me. But he is bowling well. “I have faced him many times around the world in different formats and he always poses a challenge.” Cummins said.
Clandestinely, Cummins also recalled the way the Australians dealt with Bumrah’s attack during the previous Test in Melbourne.
“The last game helped me because I was on the non-striking side. “That certainly helped.” Cummins further added.

During the second Australian innings, the Indian pace attack took consecutive Australian wickets to put pressure on the home team. Cummins and Marnus Labuschagne He then stabilized the Australian innings and came up with the plan that the set batsman, Labuschagne in this case, would play Bumrah while Cummins would take on the Indian bowler at the other end.

The match is also crucial for the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final that will be played this year in the Mister. A victory would automatically seal the spot for Australia in the WTC final with South Africawho have already qualified for the coveted title.
