Jasprit Bumrah is counted among the best bowlers in the world. Even the best batsmen cannot last long in front of him. But there is also an Australian batsman who has no worries about Bumrah before the 5-match Test series. He has been tackling his swing bowling with ease till now. The most surprising thing is that Bumrah has not been able to get this player out in Tests till date. Here we are talking about Australian opener Usman Khawaja. Before the start of Border-Gavaskar Trophy, he said that playing Bumrah is very easy. However, Khawaja named one bowler outside the Indian team whom he is very afraid of.

Khawaja always remained superior to Bumrah

Now counting days are left for the start of the 5-match Test series between India and Australia. The first match is to be played from 22nd November. With this the war between bat and bat will start. The batsmen and bowlers of both the teams will test each other on the fast pitch of Perth. But before this, Australian opener Usman Khawaja has given a surprising statement.

Khawaja said that due to the unique action of Jasprit Bumrah, it is a bit difficult in the beginning but after playing for a while, the batsmen become familiar with it. According to Khawaja, he does not face any problem in playing. Statistics also testify to this. Actually, both of them faced each other in Tests in 2018 and 2019. During this period, Bumrah bowled him 155 balls but could not get him out even once. Whereas Khawaja scored 43 runs. If this figure remains intact in this series also then the Indian team may be in trouble.

Whom did Khwaja call the biggest threat?

Usman Khawaja believes that everyone only talks about Bumrah but there are more dangerous bowlers in the Indian team than him. According to him, Mohammed Shami, who is currently out of Team India's squad, used to bowl very lethally when he was fit. It was very difficult to face him. He was adept at seaming the ball with very precise line-length.

It was very difficult to read Shami. Let us tell you that both of them faced each other in Tests in 2018, 2019 and 2023. During this period, Shami bowled him a total of 296 balls, out of which 242 balls were dot and he also got out twice. Whereas Khawaja could score 109 runs at a strike rate of just 36, which included 14 fours.
