Jasprit Bumrah: India’s ‘X-factor’

• Known as “impossible-to-face” by Australian batter Travis Head and a “cat burglar” by former pacer Brett Lee.

• Captains India in the first Test of the ve-match series.

• Taken 32 wickets on two previous tours of Australia, including a match-winning six for 33 in the 2018 Boxing Day Test.

• Only two touring bowlers have taken more wickets in Australia at a lower average since the start of the 20th century.

• Head describes Bumrah as India’s ‘X-factor’, a player they go to every time and produce for them.
