In a candid interview, Bumrah revealed that he had spoken to Rohit earlier about the possibility of stepping up as captain, and while it wasn’t something he had initially planned for, he was prepared to embrace the responsibility. Rohit, who has been a steady leader for India, has been sidelined due to injury, paving the way for Bumrah to assume the captaincy.

Bumrah shared that Rohit’s guidance and the team’s support have been crucial in helping him transition smoothly into this leadership role. “Rohit has been an immense help, and I have learned a lot from him over the years. Having his backing is reassuring,” Bumrah said, underscoring the camaraderie and trust within the team.
Taking over the captaincy in a challenging Test series against Australia, particularly in a venue like Perth, adds pressure to the role, but Bumrah showed confidence in his ability to lead the team. “Every opportunity is a learning experience, and I feel ready to lead this group. The key is to stay focused on the team’s goals and ensure everyone performs to their best,” he added.
With his calm demeanor and leadership qualities, Bumrah aims to lead India through the challenge, focusing on both individual and collective performance as they face the Australians in what promises to be a high-stakes Test series.
