The BCCI, as well as the ICC, is aware of it and there are ICC rules and provisions which forbid anyone from making comments that are racial in nature.

"In spite of that, if somebody is using racial comments, I think the Australian court should take cognizance of it and these kinds of incidents must be prevented. There is no place for such acts and these kinds of things are not allowed or accepted. I think every board should take cognizance of it and take strict measures to ensure such acts aren't repeated," he said.

Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj racially abused at the SCG on Day 3: Reports

Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been outstanding in all formats of cricket in recent years and he now leads Virat and Co.'s bowling unit. Bumrah is playing a vital role in the on-going Test against Australia.

Pakistan's former paceman Shoaib Akhtar talked about Bumrah and what makes him special. According to Pak pacer, Bumrah uses tactics of what Wasim Akram, Akhtar and Waqar Younis used to do.&nbsp;

“He (Bumrah) is probably India’s first fast bowler, who checks the wind speed and wind direction rather than how much grass has been left on the track. This thing used to be the art of Pakistanis, we used to know how you could play with the wind,” Akhtar said on YouTube channel “Sports Today”.

Akhtar used&nbsp;the example of how the two Ws (his fellow paceman) and he used to read the wind speeds during their prime. “We used to actually (do that), me, Wasim bhai and Waqar bhai, we used to note the wind speed and direction, look the wind is blowing from that corridor, okay I might get reverse from that end,” he said.

“We knew mechanics and aero dynamics of fast bowling, how much swing and at what time of the day. This is my assumption that Bumrah knows these sort of things which I hardly think other fast bowlers know these sort of things.”

“In Bumrah’s world, in those five seconds, he only visualises the batsman and thinks about his art of taking wickets,” Akhtar said.

“He is a great character. He will be the most unusual but great fast bowler if fitness permits. If his back remains okay, he will play for a long time.”

“He has proved people wrong time and again. The more people were critical of his ungainly action, he just told them, look boss this is what I can do with this action.”

“He sets up subtle traps. The 2x2 length corridor where he bowls, if you ask him to pitch 60 balls at same place, he can do that day in and day out. When he comes over the wicket, he uses the crease well. He also comes close to the stumps, if need be goes wider, he plays with variations, so the length will increase or decrease as per need but it won’t be outside the corridor,” Akhtar pointed out.

“He can bowl those away swingers to left-handers which will swing back in the air as the batsman will commit to an incoming delivery. Then after pitching, it will become and away going delivery. He is that accurate fast bowler that if you get him out of sleep, he will pitch the bowler there only. He knows art of taking wickets.”

'He is great character': Former speedster Shoaib Akhtar praises Indian paceman Jasprit Bumrah

Former Australia skipper Greg Chappell on Friday called the Indian captain Virat Kohli is the "most Australian non-Australian". Chappell went on to thank him for championing the cause of the Test format with his “all-out aggression“.

Virat Kohli reacted to Chappell's comments during a press conference on the eve of the first Test against Australia on Thursday. Indian cricketer said that his character is the representation of a new India.

"I have always been myself. The way my personality and character is... it is the representation of a new India. For me, that's how I look at it. &nbsp;It's not a comparison of me being similar to an Australian mindset or anything like that. It's how we have started to stand up as a team, and my personality has always been like this from day one," Kohli said.

"We want to take up challenges and move forward with optimism and positivity, make sure that we are up for any challenges," Kohli&nbsp;added.

Fans have witnessed the best of Virat Kohli against Australia. However, Jasprit Bumrah also has a huge fanbase in Australia, especially after his brave bowling spells in the 2018-19 Test series.&nbsp;

"It's a wonderful place to play cricket. When you play well here, you earn the respect of the public and there is anticipation and chat around, wanting to see you play. Similarly with Jasprit as well. Last time, he performed really well, so there is going to be anticipation and excitement to watch him bowl," said the 32-year-old.

Jasprit Bumrah receives guard of honour from Team India for his brave innings

Australia pace bowler James Pattinson, who will play for Australia A against India A in a three-day warm-up game here from Sunday, says he has got wiser after picking Jasprit Bumrah`s brains in the Mumbai Indians` camp during the recent Indian Premier League (IPL). 
 
Pattinson, who had gone unsold in the IPL auction was brought into the Mumbai franchise as a replacement for veteran Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga for the 2020 season in the UAE. 
 
"Boom (Bumrah) is one of the best, if not the best, T20 bowler in the world," Pattinson was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au 
 
"And he`s a fantastic guy. The biggest thing was just how much he loves talking about cricket...and he was happy to share a lot of information around his bowling mindset," added Pattinson, who will play the three-day game at the Drummoyne Oval. 
 
"He bowls a lot more than I thought he would at training. He just bowls and bowls and bowls...you see how switched on he is." 
 
Pattinson added that he particularly learned bowling the yorker from Bumrah. 
 
"You watch him bowl and just think `how does he do that?`" Pattinson said. "I picked his brain. I was asking about his yorkers and how he gets them so good; he likes to bowl from a higher position and a few other things." 
 
Pattinson also believes it is a good lesson in not tinkering with bowling actions as is proven by Bumrah`s success. 
 
"It`s fantastic. He`s got an unusual action, been allowed to keep doing that and it`s what makes him successful," the right-arm pace bowler said. 
 
Pattinson, 30, added that he has also been lucky in learning from New Zealand`s Trent Boult in the Mumbai Indians team. 
 
"It ignited a spark to play more white-ball cricket...to try and get back into Australia`s white-ball teams," Pattinson added.

Bumrah one of the best T20 bowlers, if not the best: Pattinson

India’s bowling shortcomings have been laid bare in the first two one-day internationals against Australia and unless pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah finds his rhythm quickly the tourists will have their backs to the wall in next month’s test series.

Australia took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series with a 51-run victory in Sydney on Sunday.

And the hosts could deal a psychological blow for the four-match test series, which starts in Adelaide on Dec. 17, by securing a sweep in the third match on Wednesday.

Bumrah, the world’s second ranked ODI bowler, has endured a torrid time, bleeding 73-1 in the first match and 79-1 in the second.

“He means a lot to this team and we know the value of Jasprit,” vice-captain KL Rahul said after Sunday’s loss.

“It’s about time a champion player like him will come back, deliver and get wickets for us.”

Bumrah and Mohammed Shami’s failure to strike early has allowed Australia to get off to flying starts, which Steve Smith and his middle order colleagues have capitalised on.

Rahul was not surprised by the bowlers’ struggles on pitches where India also surpassed the 300-mark in both matches.

“You have to understand that in New Zealand and Australia, the wickets are so good to bat on. You will see top bowlers not getting wickets (occasionally). That’s quite acceptable,” he added.

With all-rounder Hardik Pandya yet to fully recover from a back injury, India played him as specialist batsman in the first ODI, even though it upset team balance.

Pandya bowled just four overs on Sunday but still picked up the wicket of Smith, who had smashed his second successive century of the series.

“If he (Pandya) starts bowling, then it is a load off the skipper and the team,” Rahul said.

“We need all-rounders for the team balance. He quite enjoyed it himself. He loves to get into contests and he is itching to go.”

IND vs AUS: Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah mimic each other's bowling action - WATCH

India's world cup-winning captain Kapil Dev named Jasprit Bumrah when asked to name the bowler he likes to watch the most from today’s era.&nbsp;

However, Kapil said that the 26-year-old needs to look out for his body. Bumrah's action has been unique, but West Indian great Michael Holding was concerned for the young bowler.

"Four or eight overs is fine. When he has to bowl 20 or 25 overs in a day for 3,4 5 test matches, then it would be tough because he puts so much effort with his short run-up," Kapil, India’s World Cup-winning captain said at the HT Leadership Summit. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Kapil went on to compliment&nbsp;India's bowling unit.&nbsp;

"I read somewhere that Brian Lara said he would rather prefer facing Kapil Dev but not Bumrah. Our fast bowlers are brilliant. Look at Shami, Bumrah.

"We’ve had spinners in the past whom we have depended more – Kumble, Harbhajan - but today no country would like to say 'give them (Indian team) bouncy wickets'."

'I hope he can survive': Kapil Dev talks about this Indian star bowler

Pacer Josh Hazlewood has said that ‘tiring out’ Jasprit Bumrah will be crucial to Australia in the upcoming four-match Test series on their home soil against India. When India visited Down Under in 2018-19, the became the first team to win a Test series on Australian soil wherein Bumrah scalped a whopping 21 wickets at an average of 17 and ended up being the leading wicket-taker in the series.

"Bumrah is probably the standout. He is unique with his action," Hazlewood told Hindustan Times. "He maintains pace very well throughout the day and the whole series. He is probably the key. He can take wickets up front or with the old ball. I guess it's about getting a lot of overs into him, try to tire him out in the first couple of games. That will be the key."

In the previous series, the troika of Bumrah, Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Shami aggregated 48 wickets in comparison to Australian trio of Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins who picked up 40 wickets.

'Tiring out' Jasprit Bumrah will be crucial for Australia: Josh Hazlewood

Team India’s premier strike bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami are unlikely to take part in all six white-ball matches against Australia, keeping the four-match Test series starting in December 17 in view. India will take on Australia in three ODIs and as many T20Is – to be played between November 27 to December 8 – before the red-ball series kickstarts.&nbsp;

With workload management being the prime focus after a busy Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 both Shami and Bumrah, head coach Ravi Shastri and bowling coach Bharat Arun will want to keep their ace bowling pair fit and fresh especially when Ishant Sharma’s availability for the first Test is in the dark cloud.

The first red ball warm-match at Drummoyne Oval is set to be played on December 6. However, India’s second and third T20I will be played at the same time, coinciding with the schedule of the first warm-up match. The Indian team management might not risk Shami and Bumrah play six back to back matches in 12 days.&nbsp;

"If both (Bumrah and Shami) play the T20 Internationals (on Dec 4, 6 and 8), then they will have one warm-up matchless which I don't think the team management will fancy at this moment," a source said. So, there is a chance that Shami and Bumrah will be rotated during the white-ball series. Shami has been seen primarily bowling with pink and red balls during net sessions, which is an indicator of where his and team's priorities lie.

It is likely that both Bumrah and Shami will play ODIs before switching to Test mode and play the warm-up games to get in the groove of Test cricket before the Day-Night match at Adelaide Oval.

The Indian T20I first XI could feature the likes of Deepak Chahar, Thangarasu 'Yorker' Natarajan and Navdeep Saini as the pace trio with Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar in the spin attack.

Race to Purple Cap: Top 5 bowlers in Indian Premier League 2020

Former West Indies legend Brian Lara was all praise for Mumbai Indians paceman and current purple cap holder Jasprit Bumrah for his lethal bowling in this year's Indian Premier League.&nbsp;

While speaking to the Hindustan Times, he said: "I think I would’ve preferred facing Kapil Dev, Javagal Srinath and Manoj Prabhakar rather than Bumrah (laughs)."

"But yes, the challenge would have been exceptional. You know, back in my day you had someone like Makhaya Ntini, who had a similar sort of angle to his delivery. So, there can be some comparisons to people I played against. I know I would not have backed away," Lara added.&nbsp;

According to Lara, Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer can be counted as the best in any era of cricket.

"Bumrah and Archer could stand up and be counted in any era of cricket. Whether they were playing in the 2000s, 90s, 80s or even the 70s, they would be up there. And I am not belittling anyone from the past. But these two would be in the echelons of fast bowling in any era I have watched, played in, or am still watching," Lara said.

Lara went on to explain, how Bumrah and Shami are successful in the longest and the shortest format. He said: "Why Bumrah and Shami are so successful is because they bowl Test match lengths in T20s. You don’t see them overdoing the slower balls. They look to hit the seam, hit the stumps. Or they try to get the edge of the bat, bowl sharp and short balls and get batsmen in trouble. So, switching to Test cricket against Australia will be a very easy task for them."&nbsp;

'Would’ve preferred facing Kapil Dev, Javagal Srinath instead of Bumrah': Brian Lara

Mumbai Indians bowling coach and former New Zealand pacer Shane Bond lavished praise on Jasprit Bumrah following a splendid performance in the Qualifier 1 of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a> against Delhi Capitals as the Kiwi termed Bumrah as the “best T20 fast bowler in the world”.

Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals by 57 runs to storm into the final of IPL 2020 and it was Bumrah who was behind MI’s stunning bowling performance. Bumrah conceded just 14 runs while picking up four wickets in his four-over quota, as the current Purple Cap holder continued his tremendous run with the ball.&nbsp;

<h2>Jasprit, it's a privilege to watch: Shane Bond</h2>

"Jasprit, it's a privilege to watch. The best T20 fast bowler in the world go about his work," Bond said in a video posted by Mumbai Indians on Twitter.

Bond also praised Trent Boult saying that "I've loved working with Trent since 2012. We've seen him at his very best and I was very excited to have him in our team. Because I know what a devastating bowler he can be and he has done that through this tournament for us."

Before the heroics with the ball, MI batters put on a show as they posted 200 runs on the board courtesy terrific knocks by Suryakumar Yadav, Quinton de Kock, Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya.

Delhi Capitals never got the chase going as Boult and Bumrah did the damage upfront to restrict them to 0/3 in the second over. After that, it was just DC saving their blushes.

Bond is also impressed with his team's batting performance and said: "We are an intimidating batting line-up. You sit in the shed and it is just relentless.

If they'd had a little bit more luck or perhaps been a little bit more accurate, we would have been under pressure at the back end."

Reflecting on his performance, Suryakumar Yadav said: "They have given me unbelievable freedom to express myself whenever I go to bat. And whatever the situation is, whether it is 10/1 or 50 or no loss. So, I just went out, expressed myself, and just played the way I play."

IPL 2020: Jasprit Bumrah is the 'best T20 fast bowler in the world', says Shane Bond

Mumbai Indians on Thursday defeated Delhi Capitals by 57 runs at the Dubai International Stadium to storm into the final of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. Delhi Capitals were simply outplayed by the class of Mumbai Indians as they fell short by 57 runs and will now have to play the Qualifier 2 against the winner of Sunrisers Hyderabad versus Royal Challengers Bangalore in a bid to secure a berth in the final of IPL 2020.&nbsp;

<h2>Power-paced Mumbai Indians batting&nbsp;unit lights up Dubai</h2>

Mumbai Indians’ batting scorecard might not look the best with captain Rohit Sharma scoring a golden duck and Kieron Pollard a two-ball duck. Breathtaking contributions with the willow by Quinton de Kock (40 off 25), Suryakumar Yadav (51 off 38), Ishan Kishan (55* off 30) and Hardik Pandya (37* off 14) made sure Mumbai Indians the four-time IPL winners had a mammoth total on the board.

The fact that MI batters never slowed down their run-scoring tempo despite losing two big wickets in Rohit and Pollard for cheap, shows the quality and temperament of the defending champions.&nbsp;

Mumbai Indians were asked to bat first by Delhi Capitals captain Shreyas Iyer with Ravichandran Ashwin taking the Delhi outfit off to a flyer as he dismissed Rohit for a golden duck. However, SKY continued his sensational run with the bat and stitched an important partnership with in-form Quinton de Kock.

<h2>Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya show</h2>

Ishan Kishan chipped in after de Kock’s departure but his best shots came later in the innings as he went hammer and tonks. Hardik Pandya showed his power-hitting prowess as he whacked five sixes in his 37-run knock of 14 deliveries where he scored his runs at a staggering strike-rate of 264.29.

<h2>Three ducks for Delhi Capitals</h2>

Chasing a massive 201, Delhi Capitals were down on their knees when Trent Boult bowled a double-wicket maiden in the very first over while dismissing Prithvi Shaw (0) and Ajinkya Rahane (0). Jasprit Bumrah, from the other end, spiced up things even more with an inch-perfect yorker to get the better of Shikhar Dhawan (0).

Skipper Shreyas Iyer departed soon, off 12, by Bumrah. While Marcus Stoinis played a gritty knock to save some blushes with a half-century (65 off 36), Rishabh Pant continued his poor run and was dismissed for 3. Axar Patel tried to chip in with some runs laced by lusty blows but it was too little too late for Delhi Capitals following a horrendous start to the chase as they ended up with 143-8 on the board.

Mumbai Indians openers Quinton de Kock and Ishan Kishan started in front foot and dominated the proceedings from the word go.

With the win, Mumbai Indians have now 18 points to their name and are sitting comfortably at the top of IPL 2020 table. Bowling first in Dubai, Mumbai Indians bowlers wreaked havoc with the new ball and sent the openers packing soon.

IPL 2020: Ishan steals the show as Mumbai Indians complete dominating win against Delhi Capitals

Mumbai Indians pacer Jasprit Bumrah on Wednesday touched a major milestone in the shortest format of the game, against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Abu Dhabi as two top teams in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL)</a> locked horns.&nbsp;

Bumrah dismissed Virat Kohli with a sharp bouncer and with the scalp, the Indian pacer reached the 100-IPL wicket landmark becoming only the 15th bowler to do so. Not only that, with Kohli’s wicket, Bumrah also completed 200 T20 wickets while becoming the sixth bowler to achieve the feat.

Other Indian bowlers to have scalped more than 200 T20 wickets are: Piyush Chawla (257), Amit Mishra (256), Ravichandran Ashwin (242), Harbhajan Singh (235) and Yuzvendra Chahal (205).

Chahal touched the milestone a couple of weeks ago in the IPL 2020 match against Kings XI Punjab after sending Mayank Agarwal back to the hut.

Bumrah, like always, has been in sublime form with the ball in IPL 2020 and is the third-highest wicket-taker thus far with 18 wickets in 11 matches.

Meanwhile, ahead of the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, stand-in MI skipper Kieron Pollard hoped for a better show by the MI team following their crushing defeat to Rajasthan Royals, where Ben Stokes smashed a terrific century.

IPL 2020: Jasprit Bumrah achieves major landmark in T20 cricket with Virat Kohli's wicket

Mumbai Indians all-rounder Kieron Pollard feels that pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has taken over the mantle from Sri Lankan Lasith Malinga to become the lynchpin of the four-time IPL champions' bowling attack.

After picking up the crucial wickets of KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal and Nicholas Pooran in the stipulated 20 overs, Bumrah (3/24) bowled an excellent Super Over against Kings XI Punjab, conceding just five runs.

However, it was not enough as Mohammad Shami bowled an equally impressive over to lead the match to a second Super Over in which KXIP snatched a win at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.

"He's a world-class cricketer. He has been number one in a couple of formats for a long period of time. He has learned and has grown leaps and bounds for us at Mumbai Indians...We have comfort in him," Pollard said at the post-match press conference.

"A couple of years ago, we had a fit and fair Lasith Malinga and he (Bumrah) has taken over that mantle now," he added. 
Malinga, the highest wicket-taker in the IPL, opted out this year citing personal reasons. 
Chasing five runs in the first Super Over, skipper Rohit Sharma and Quinton De Kock failed to take MI across the finish line.

In the second Super Over, Pollard and Hardik Pandya helped the defending champions score 11 runs.

"Obviously there are decision-makers to make the decision, you know we can look at those things and say that's where we lost the game but we played a very good game of cricket. We batted well," said Pollard.

Mumbai have lost two games via Super Overs. They were defeated by Royal Challengers Bangalore earlier in the tournament. 
Their five-match winning streak broken by KXIP, the defending champions are placed second with 12 points.

"Just a matter of improvement, each and every time we step on the cricket field it is to improve and to do better. We will look back and analyse the game and we will come up with a better plan and hopefully get two points in the next game," said the all-rounder. 
KXIP pacer Chris Jordan, who bowled the second Super Over for his team, was delighted to be on the winning side.

"I feel like the way we have played a lot of our games this season, they could have been very easily ended with us on the winning side," Jordan said during the post-match press conference.

"Unfortunately, that was not the case. I think from the last two games, specially the kind of team spirit and camaraderie we have shown as an entire team and entire franchise has been second to none.

"Just glad that we have a little bit of luck going our way now but we can't rest on that," he added.

Jordon conceded 11 runs of the second Super Over. Chris Gayle then hit the first ball bowled by Trent Boult for a six before opener Mayank Agarwal cracked successive fours as KXIP notched up an incredible win to keep their IPL play-off hopes alive.

The presence of the big-hitting Gayle in the playing XI has also inspired the team.

"You can see the impact the legend himself, Gayle, made in the last two games. Hitting a fifty after not playing for a while and then finish off the game in the Super Over for us. It is great to have, what I considered to be a great of the game, in our team. His energy is unbelievable," Jordan said.

KXIP have got the better of MI and RCB in their last two games, however, KL Rahul and his men have been guilty of making their run chases too close and the pacer hopes his side can close in matches quicker.

"If we want to take it to the next level, we have got to keep doing simple things and hopefully finish off games a bit quick as well," Jordan added.

IPL 2020: Bumrah has taken over the mantle from Malinga, says Pollard

Mumbai Indians (MI) on Wednesday defeated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 49 runs at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi as the Rohit Sharma-led side put on a dominating performance to clinch their first win of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a>.&nbsp;

KKR’s poor run of form against MI continued with the Kolkata outfit losing another encounter against Mumbai.&nbsp; 
Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav were at the top of their game as they scored 80 off 54 and 47 off 28 respective to help Mumbai Indians post a mammoth 195/5 in 20 overs.&nbsp;

Pat Cummins, who was sold for a whopping INR 15.5 crore that made him the costliest overseas buy ever, was hammered for 49 runs in his three overs as MI took advantage of the constant short deliveries by Cummins and other bowlers.&nbsp;

Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah involve in fun banter on Twitter ahead of IPL 2020

Ace Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah reckons cricket should seek an ‘alternative’ for polishing the ball if the gentlemen’s governing body bans&nbsp;the usage of saliva before the resumption of international cricket following the prolonged break due to COVID-19 pandemic.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is all set to implement a ban on the usage of saliva for the game’s return when they meet after being provided with medical advice that spit poses a COVID-19 transmission risk.

Handshakes, high-fives and hugs are also expected to be out from the game when international cricket resumes with safety protocols in place.&nbsp;

"I was not much of a hugger anyway, and not a high-five person as well, so that doesn't trouble me a lot," Bumrah said in an ICC video chat with the former West Indies pace bowler Ian Bishop and the ex-captain of South Africa, Shaun Pollock.

"The only thing that interests me is the saliva bit," added the 26-year-old Bumrah.&nbsp;

"I don't know what guidelines that we have to follow when we come back, but I feel there should be an alternative.&nbsp;

"If the ball is not well maintained, it's difficult for the bowlers. The grounds are getting shorter and shorter, the wickets are becoming flatter and flatter. So we need something."

Pacers usually use saliva to shine one side of the ball to make the ball swing.&nbsp;

Earlier, former Indian captain and current chairman of ICC Cricket Committee had sad the ban on saliva would be only an “interim measure”.

Bumrah has become the spearhead of the Indian pace attack by claiming 68 wickets in 14 Tests and 104 wickets in 64 ODIs.

"If the ball is not well maintained, it's difficult for the bowlers. The grounds are getting shorter and shorter, the wickets are becoming flatter and flatter. So we need something." Pacers usually use saliva to shine one side of the ball to make the ball swing. Earlier, former Indian captain and current chairman of ICC Cricket Committee had sad the ban on saliva would be only an “interim measure”. Bumrah has become the spearhead of the Indian pace attack by claiming 68 wickets in 14 Tests and 104 wickets in 64 ODIs.

'There should be an alternative, bowlers need something' - Jasprit Bumrah on saliva ban

India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is expected to be the BCCI nomination for the prestigious Arjuna Award this year after missing out on seniority to Ravindra Jadeja in 2019.

The BCCI office-bearers are expected to zero in on nominations for the men's and women's categories later this month but the Gujarat pacer's stupendous performance in the last four years makes him the most worthy candidate.

If BCCI decides to send multiple names in the men's category, senior opener Shikhar Dhawan could also be preferred as he missed out in 2018 despite the Board sending his nomination.

"Last year, we had sent three names in men's section -- Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami," a BCCI source told PTI.

Bumrah lost out as he had completed only two years in international cricket while the criteria of selection requires performance of at least three years at the highest level.

"That's why Bumrah, who completed three years of international cricket last year, missed out to Jadeja, who is senior as well as a consistent performer for many years," the source added.

The 26-year-old has 68 wickets from 14 Tests, 104 wickets from 64 ODIs and 59 wickets from 50 T20Is, making for a phenomenal four years in India colours.

"He certainly has the best credentials. He was ICC's No 1 ranked ODI bowler. He is the only Asian bowler to pick up five-wicket hauls in South Africa, England, Australia and West Indies," the source said.

It is highly unlikely that BCCI will send Mohammed Shami's name this time around as the police case filed against him by his estranged wife alleging domestic violence and adultery means that he won't be eligible.

In case of Dhawan, his seniority is a factor as all his contemporaries (Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara and Jadeja) have got the award.

Dhawan was, however, out of action for a considerable period last year after sustaining multiple injuries.

But a former BCCI office-bearer said that Dhawan's seniority cannot be ignored.

"In 2018, we had sent Dhawan's name for nomination but only Smriti (Mandhana) got the award. So BCCI can send both Bumrah and Dhawan's names," he said.

In the women's section, all-rounder Deepti Sharma, for her consistent show over the past four years including India's highest ODI score of 188, is one of the names along with pacer Shikha Pandey, who is also a Squadron Leader with the Indian Airforce.

Jasprit Bumrah top contender for BCCI's Arjuna award nomination, Shikhar Dhawan could be second name

Over the past few years, Jasprit Bumrah has become one of the key members of the Indian cricket team across formats. A bowler, who shot to fame for his uncanny action, has bamboozled world-class batsmen with his deadly yorkers and fierce bowling, Bumrah didn’t take much time to become a mainstay in international cricket and has been hailed as one of the greatest pacers to have played for India.&nbsp;

However, Bumrah has revealed that people told him that he won’t play for long and the maximum he could achieve is Ranji Trophy appearances while adding he persisted with his action and kept on improving to make his Team India dream a reality.

Bumrah has played 64 ODIS, 50 T20Is and 14 Tests for India and has been a success in whichever country he has toured thus far. Earlier, even Kohli lauded Bumrah highly as the Indian skipper said that belief can lead you to greater heights and the Indian pacer is defying all odds to be one of the greatest of all-time. &nbsp;

“He is proving people wrong [when they say] that there is a set template for every format. If you have&nbsp;belief, you can play every format. I totally vouch for that as well. He definitely has the mindset to succeed in all three formats and wants to be the best in the world,” Kohli spoke about Bumrah after his exploits on the West Indies tour.

Jasprit Bumrah set to make robust comeback post injury

Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the home Test series against South Africa after suffering a stress fracture in his back and will be replaced by Umesh Yadav, the country's cricket board (BCCI) said on Tuesday.

Bumrah, 25, was India's leading bowler at the 50-over World Cup with 18 victims and he took 13 wickets in the recent two-Test series in West Indies at an exceptional average of 9.23.

"Jasprit Bumrah has sustained a minor stress fracture in his lower back and has been ruled out of the upcoming series for Gandhi-Mandela Trophy against South Africa," the BCCI said in a statement.

Bumrah's spell of 5-7 in the first Test made him the first Asian bowler to complete five-wicket hauls in Australia, England, South Africa and West Indies -- in only his 11th Test.

Yadav, who has taken 119 wickets in 41 Tests, last played for India in December in Australia.

Vishakhapatnam will host the first Test between India and South Africa from Oct. 2 followed by matches at Pune and Ranchi. The series is the first for South Africa in the new ICC Test Championship.&nbsp;

India squad: Virat Kohli (captain), Mayank Agarwal, Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane (vice-captain), Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Wriddhiman Saha (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Shubman Gill.

India call up Umesh Yadav to replace injured Jasprit Bumrah for South Africa series

India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah said he owes his maiden test hat-trick to captain Virat Kohli, who successfully reviewed a leg-before decision which was initially turned down in the ongoing second match against West Indies.

After dismissing Darren Bravo and Shamarh Brooks in consecutive deliveries at Kingston's Sabina Park, Bumrah's timid lbw shout against Roston Chase was initially turned down by on-field umpire Paul Reiffel.

A confident Kohli, however, decided to review and replays showed the ball would have struck the leg stump. The decision was overturned, with Bumrah becoming the third Indian bowler to claim a test hat-trick.

"I was not very sure of the appeal," Bumrah told Kohli in an interview to bcci.tv.

"I thought it was bat (first), so I didn't appeal so much. But it was a good review in the end, and I think I owe the hat-trick to the captain."

Bumrah finished with 6-27 as West Indies were bowled out for 117 in reply India's 416 in the first innings.

It followed the 25-year-old's blistering second innings spell in the opening test where he finished with 5-7. Ishant Sharma took eight wickets in that match and Mohammed Shami chipped in with four as India recorded a convincing 318 runs victory.

Bumrah put down his recent success on pace-friendly tracks to his camaraderie with senior bowlers in the squad.

"There's a lot of communication that goes on the field as well," Bumrah told reporters.

"When I'm getting wickets, it's somebody else's job to create pressure, and when somebody else is getting wickets, (it's) my job is to create pressure.

"We got a good relationship all of us, we want to get better every year."

India are closing in on a 2-0 sweep of series after West Indies ended day three at 45-2 while chasing an unlikely target of 468 for victory.

India's Jasprit Bumrah thanks skipper Virat Kohli for review call after hat-trick

Pacer Jasprit Bumrah recorded his first hat-trick in his international career on day two of the second Test of the two-match series between India and West Indies.

With this hat-trick, Bumrah became only the third Indian to achieve the feat in the longest format of the game. Previously Harbhajan Singh and Irfan Pathan had taken hat-tricks in Test matches for India.

Harbhajan had achieved the feat against Australia in 2001 whereas Pathan had taken a hat-trick against Pakistan in 2006.&nbsp;

Bumrah dismissed Darren Dravo, Shamarh Brooks and Roston Chase in successive balls in the 9th over of the Windies innings.

Bravo was sent back to the pavilion as Bumrah had him caught at the second slip. Brooks and Chase were caught plum in front and both were adjudged leg-before wicket.

Chase was originally given not-out but Kohli had opted for a review and the ball tracker showed that the ball was clearly hitting the stumps.

Earlier in the day, India was bowled out for 416 in the first innings.

Resuming day two at 264/5, India got off to the worst start possible as the side lost Pant (27) on the first ball of the day. Windies skipper Jason Holder bowled an inswinger to dismantle the stumps of Pant.

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja next came into bat and he provided support to the overnight batter Hanuma Vihari. The duo played cautiously and stitched a 38-run stand, but their resistance was cut short by Rahkeem Cornwall as he dismissed Jadeja (16) to reduce India to 302/7.

Holder had one decision going his way as the umpire ruled Vihari leg-before wicket, but the batsman reviewed the call, and the DRS saved him as the ball was missing the stumps.

The team did not lose any more wicket and India went to the lunch break with a score of 336/7.

After the lunch break, both Ishant and Vihari scored at a brisk pace and their partnership saw Ishant bringing up his half-century and Vihari bringing up his maiden ton. Looking for big shots, tailender Ishant (57) perished as he was sent back to the pavilion by Kraigg Brathwaite, and the 112-run partnership came to an end between Ishant and Vihari.

After Ishant`s dismissal, India`s innings folded for 416 runs. Holder sent Vihari (111) back to the pavilion to scalp his fifth wicket in the innings.
