India and Australia will kick off the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with the Perth Test on Friday, November 22. For the first time in the rivalry’s history, fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Pat Cummins will captain the sides.

During the pre-game press conference, both expressed their approval of the choice to give the pacers captaincy and expressed their desire that the custom would continue. As Australia won the World Test Championship and the ODI World Cup, Cummins, who was the country’s first fast bowling captain, experienced great highs.

In contrast, Bumrah gave Pat Cummins a lot of credit for his outstanding leadership of the Australian team.

“I have always supported captaining pacers. Their tactics are superior. Pat has performed admirably. Additionally, there are other models from the past. Several previous captains, including Kapil Dev. Before the game, Bumrah remarked, “Hopefully the beginning of a new tradition.”

Throughout the first Test match, both pacers will be vital. With some rain predicted for Friday morning, the Perth pitch is expected to play lively and fast.
