Seeing the form in which Bumrah is seen in the Test series against Australia, it seems that it is not only difficult but impossible to remove this player from the number 1 position. Bumrah took a total of 8 wickets in the Perth Test, out of which he took 5 wickets in the first innings. Team India, which was all out for just 150 in Perth, made a comeback only on the strength of Bumrah.
This right-handed batsman devastated Australia's batting unit equipped with great batsmen and the Kangaroos had to face a humiliating defeat of 295 runs at their home. Bumrah still has to play 4 more matches in the Test series and if his performance remains like this, then no one will be able to remove him from the number 1 position.
