Tim Southee's statement for Jasprit Bumrah: The New Zealand team is scheduled to play a one-match Test series against Afghanistan in India in early September. After this, the host team will play a three-match Test series against the Indian team from October 16. Kiwi Test captain Tim Southee has already arrived in India and praised fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah during an event in Mumbai. Southee said that ever since Bumrah returned from injury, he has become an even more dangerous bowler. Making such a comeback after recovering from a back injury is not an easy feat for anyone.
Bumrah is currently the best bowler in all three formats
Jasprit Bumrah was out of action for almost a year due to a back injury in September 2022. After being fully fit, Bumrah made a comeback in August 2023 through the T20 series on the Ireland tour. Since then Bumrah has been performing brilliantly in all three formats. Tim Southee said that coming back from a major injury is not an easy task at all. Bumrah is now better than ever. Apart from this, playing in all three formats is not an easy task for any bowler, but he seems to do it with great ease. The biggest reason behind this can also be that he has gained more experience than before.
Bumrah understands his game very well
Praising Jaspreet Bumrah, Tim Southee said that I think he understands his game better, that is why he is now seen as an even more dangerous bowler. After playing a 2-match Test series against Bangladesh, the Indian team has to play a 3-match Test series against New Zealand on home ground, which will start with the Bengaluru Test match from October 16, the second match will be played in Pune from October 24. While the third and last Test match of the series will be played in Mumbai from November 1.
