Jasprit Bumrah: Indian team’s fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah has earned fame all over the world on the basis of his bowling. His stature in international cricket is such that he is praised not only in India but also in other countries of the world. Bumrah has not fully recovered from his injury at the moment and that is why he may miss the first few matches of IPL 2025. England opener Ben Duckett has made a big statement about him, where he has said that there is nothing surprising in Bumrah.

He said, ‘I have faced Jasprit Bumrah in the five-Test series. I know what he is going to do to me, and the good thing is that I know what skills he has. However, they have nothing that will surprise me. It is going to be challenging. Indian pacer Mohammed Shami is as dangerous as Bumrah in Test cricket. But if I can bowl the opening spell well, I think the runs will come.

Duckett has also made a prediction about the five-match Test series between India and England after IPL 2025. He said, ‘India’s situation at home is very different from outside. I think we should beat this team and we can beat them. It will be a good series.’
