IND vs NZ: The New Zealand team has to play a one-match Test series against Afghanistan in India in early September. At the same time, the host team will play a three-match Test series against the Indian team from October 16. Kiwi Test team captain Tim Southee, who has arrived in India, praised fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah during an event in Mumbai. Southee said that since Bumrah has returned after the injury, he has become an even more dangerous bowler. It is not an easy task for anyone to make a comeback like this after recovering from a back injury.

Bumrah is currently the best bowler in all three formats

In September 2022, Jasprit Bumrah was out of the field for almost a year due to back injury. After being fully fit, Bumrah made a comeback in August 2023 through the T20 series on the tour of Ireland. Since then, Bumrah has been seen performing brilliantly in all three formats. Regarding this, Tim Southee said in his statement to ANI that first of all, it is not an easy task to come back from a major injury. Bumrah has now become better than ever. Apart from this, playing in all three formats is not an easy task for any bowler, but Bumrah is seen doing it very easily. The biggest reason behind this can also be his gaining more experience than before.

Bumrah understands his game better

Praising Jasprit Bumrah, Tim Southee further said that I feel that he understands his game better, that is why he now looks like a more dangerous bowler. Let us tell you that after playing a 2-match Test series against Bangladesh, the Indian team has to play a 3-match Test series against New Zealand at home, which will start with the Bengaluru Test match from October 16, while the second match will be played in Pune from October 24, while the third and last Test match of the series will be played in Mumbai from November 1.
