The 41-year-old also said that Bumrah has the skill-set to perform in Indian conditions as well. A lot of people tend to forget that Bumrah has played a lot of first-class cricket before playing for the Indian team. He has bowled in one of the toughest conditions with the SG ball. Since the World Cup, Bumrah has not played a lot of cricket. He missed (rested) the T20Is and the ODIs. The 25-year-old only played the last two test matches against West Indies. The pacer is relatively fresh and will be very keen to perform in Indian conditions as well. Agarkar said that he would not be surprised if Burmah has an exceptional series.
