Stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah was named player-of-the-match for his finished with a match haul of 8/72 (5/30 and 3/42), as India outclassed Australia 295 run in the opening Border-Gavaskar Trophy game at the Optus Stadium in Perth to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

Glenn Maxwell in a recent podcast backed Bumrah to go down as “potentially the best fast bowler of all time.”

“They (India) have got two genuine generational talents at the peak of their powers which is Bumrah and Jaiswal,” Maxwell said on ‘The Grade Cricketer’ podcast.

“I have said this before Bumrah is going to go down as potentially the best fast bowler of all time. Maybe not with the amount of wickets he takes in ever format but for the guys that have played against him it is just so difficult.

“He’s just got such unique action, unique ability with the ball to get it to move and rush you, he can beat you on the outside edge, inside edge and he’s got a quick sniff good slower ball, he seems like a complete package,” Maxwell added.

Bumrah, who stepped in as captain with Rohit Sharma on leave for the birth of his second child, became only the second captain from an Asian country after Anil Kumble to emerge victorious in a Test match played in Perth (WACA or Optus).

Greg Chappell also had special praise for Bumrah.

“India’s bowlers, spearheaded by the lethal Jasprit Bumrah, looked sharper and more menacing. By the way, please stop this nonsense of questioning Bumrah’s action. It is unique, but it is unequivocally clean. It demeans a champion performer and the game to even bring it up,” Chappell wrote in his column in The Sydney Morning Herald.

Bumrah passed offspinner Ravichandran Ashwin (39 wickets) as the third most successful Indian bowler in Australia behind swing bowler Kapil Dev (51 in 11) and legspinner Anil Kumble (49 in 10).

Jasprit Bumrah’s eight wickets in the game was also the fourth-best for an Indian captain in Test history.
