Australia captain Pat Cummins and India’s stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah posed with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to raise the curtains of the high-voltage 5-game series. The first Test begins from November 22 at Perth and both captains looked absolutely ready to lead their respective sides in the challenging contest.

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy will begin in less than 24 hours as India and Australia prepare for the opening Test at Perth. The hype of the rivalry, which began a couple of months back, has peaked since India landed in Australia.

The first Test at Perth Stadium will begin from November 22 at 7.50 AM IST. As far as the visitors are concerned, skipper Rohit Sharma is absent as he is embracing the birth of his second child. Hence, India announced Jasprit Bumrah as stand-in captain for the Perth Test.

Cummins, Bumrah dazzles in captain photoshoot

Meanwhile, for the mandatory captain’s photoshoot with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, two of the most extraordinary bowlers in the current Test scene, Pat Cummins and Jasprit Bumrah, walked out to represent their teams.

 Cummins, the home skipper, stood to the right, whereas India’s stand-in captain, Bumrah, posed from the left side. The duo clicked pictures in different poses, including the one with a red-ball in hand, signalling the potential dominance of bowlers in the upcoming series.

With that photoshoot, Pat Cummins and Jasprit Bumrah officially raised the curtains to the crucial Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The next couple of months will be action-packed as two of the strongest cricket nations collide in the toughest format of cricket.

Cummins welcomes Bumrah’s captaincy appointment 

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy opener in Perth will mark a historic moment as Pat Cummins and Jasprit Bumrah become the first bowlers to lead their respective teams in this storied rivalry. 

Cummins, with three years of experience as Australia’s Test captain, expressed his enthusiasm for the appointment of Bumrah as India’s captain for the first Test, saying more pacers should be encouraged to lead the team. 

It makes sense coming from Cummins as his tenure has seen notable achievements, proving that fast bowlers can thrive as captains despite the physical and strategic challenges.
