Had Bumrah not been there: McGrath heaps praise on India's pace-king

Deccan Chronicle  

Sydney: Jasprit Bumrah's incredible performance has prevented the Border-Gavaskar series from becoming completely lopsided in Australia's favour, said pace great Glenn McGrath, lauding the India spearhead for his ball-control and ability to adapt quickly. "He has been a massive part of the Indian team and without him, the series might have been more one-sided and what he does is special," McGrath told media-persons on the sidelines of his foundation's cancer awareness event here. McGrath was also glad to see that Test cricket is well and truly alive given that record crowds showed up to watch the fourth Test in Melbourne. "We need to look after but the Boxing Day Test tells me that Test cricket is alive and hopefully, we will see something similar over here," he said.
