Jasprit Bumrah is all set to lead India in the first Test against Australia and a lot of focus will be on how he goes about his business as a leader against the mighty Aussies in Perth. However, he is a crucial bowler for India too, and India need him to come up with a strong performance if they want to win the first Test and the whole series.

The right-arm pacer is one of the leading bowlers in world cricket and has the ability to deliver under varied conditions. He has been brilliant in recent times on the spin-friendly wickets in India and so expect him to make more impact in Australian conditions that are known to assist pacers. So, ahead of the Perth Test, let's see what is Jasprit Bumrah's Test record in Australian conditions.

Jasprit Bumrah's Love For MCG

Jasprit Bumrah has played seven Test matches in Australia and the first of those was in the 2018-2019 BGT at the Adelaide Oval. The fast bowler made an immediate impact and bagged six wickets in the match, picking three in each innings. In Perth, he bagged five wickets while in his third Test in Australia, he grabbed a six-wicket haul in the first innings and picked nine wickets in that Test match at MCG.

In the 2020-21 BGT, Bumrah again bowled well at MCG and picked four wickets in the first innings. He took six wickets in that game and his performance played a big part in India's win in that game. Overall, he has 32 wickets in 14 innings in Australia and has an average of 21.25 which is quite good and speaks a lot about his impact. 

His strike rate with the ball is 51.5 and the pacer would be hoping that he comes up with more impactful performances this time around.
