Perth [Australia], : Indian players Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah reversed their playing roles during the practice session at Perh on Friday ahead of the opening Test match of the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
The much anticipated Border-Gavaskar series between India and Australia will begin on November 22, with the first Test at Perth.
In the video, both the players were seen having a funny banter during the practice session.
“Jasprit Bumrah ko pel diya hai maine, net pe out kara hai 1 wicket mila hai ,” Pant said in the video posted by the Indian Cricket Team on Instagram.
In reply, Bumrah said, “His bowling action is illegal. It’s not out, it’s a four or it’s a two, I’ve connected a pull shot. He thinks he has 7 fielders there. He should not be allowed to bowl.”
