Premier Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah is all set to join the likes of Virender Sehwag, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and others. He will become only the 11th player to captain the team in the T20 international.
Jasprit Bumrah will achieve the feat in the upcoming first T20I against Ireland, slated to take place on 18th August at The Village. The pacer will be captaining the young Indian side as senior players have been given rest to prepare for the Asia Cup 2023.
