The Indian team started the three- day warm-up match against Australia-A from today and the team was in turmoil on the first day. India won the toss and elected to bat first. Jaspreet Bumrah came in to bat when India lost nine wickets on the cheap. Bumrah is known for his bowling but Bumrah excelled in batting in Friday's match.
He scored an unbeaten 55 in the match, his highest score in first-class cricket. Bumrah had earlier toured Australia with India-A in July 2014. At the time, he had scored an unbeaten 16 against Australia-A in a match played in Brisbane. Thus on Friday he surpassed this figure. This was his first half century in first class cricket.
Not only that but this was Bumrah's highest score in any level of cricket. He has never scored so many runs in his career in Tests, ODIs, T20s, Ranji Trophy or any other first class match, List-A match or T20 match. His highest score in Tests and ODIs was ten, while his highest score in T20 Internationals was only seven. In List-A he once scored 42 runs.
