The anticipation for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy is very high, the fans are eagerly waiting for the series to get started. Meanwhile, the participation of Indian captain Rohit Sharma is still uncertain for the Perth Test match. In his absence, the ace bowler Jasprit Bumrah will lead the team. Amid the captaincy chaos, the former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting has said that Jasprit Bumrah can manage the role very well, citing that Bumrah can take the dual challenge. He further gave the example of Australian skipper Pat Cummins and talked about how he manages everything.

However, he expressed confidence that Bumrah is well-prepared to take on both roles effectively. Ponting emphasized that Bumrah's experience and maturity would help him make smart decisions about when to take up the ball and when to step back. As quoted by the ICC, Ponting said: “Yeah, that (captaincy) is probably the hardest thing for him. I think that was always the question on Pat Cummins when he became the Australian Test captain as well. How much is he going to bowl himself? Is he going to bowl himself too much? Is he not going to bowl himself enough? But someone as experienced as Jasprit will understand the times when he needs to be bowling, when he needs to have a spell.” Ricky Ponting further emphasized that leadership goes beyond just decision-making; it’s about tapping into the valuable insights and experience of those around you. He further said: “In that Indian team, there's a lot of experience around him. And it's really important, I think, that you use the experience around you even when you are the captain, and just ask the appropriate questions at the right time because no matter how much cricket we've played, we're not always going to be right.” Jasprit Bumrah has prior leadership experience, having captained the team in the 2022 Test match against England in Birmingham.
