BGT 2024: Australian cricket great Greg Chappell has backed Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling action. After India’s emphatic win in the Perth Test, Chappell has cleared the air on Ching’s allegations against Bumrah.
Australian cricket great Greg Chappell has completely dismissed questions raised over India’s stunning win in the Perth Test and Bumrah’s extraordinary performance.
Bumrah’s charismatic performance in the Perth Test that surprised everyone. His figures of 8 wickets and giving away just 72 runs are a matter of great pride for any bowler. His 5 wickets in the first innings, in particular, flummoxed the Australian batsmen.
However, despite such a brilliant performance, questions were raised on his bowling action on social media. Some people shared his pictures and alleged a change in bowling action. But Bumrah remained unfazed by the allegations and focused on his bowling. Meanwhile, Greg Chappell spoke clearly in favour of Bumrah.
In his column in the Sydney Morning Herald, Greg Chappell spoke in favour of Bumrah in clear terms
“Stop the nonsense of questioning Bumrah’s bowling action,” he said in his column for the Sydney Morning Herald. It is unique, but completely clean. Such allegations are demeaning for a champion player.”
Chappell also praised the strength of the Indian team
“There are still a lot of greats sitting out in the Indian team like Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. These players are going to return to the team, which will make the Indian team even stronger.”
India currently lead the series 1-0. The next Test match will be played in Adelaide from December 6-10, which will be a day-night Test and will be played with the pink ball. Rohit Sharma is likely to make a comeback in this match, which can strengthen the team.
