Indian pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been playing a pivotal role in the ongoing India's tour of Australia and even in the last match scalped most number of wickets leading to Indian victory. However, former Australian cricketer Brad Hodge has said that though Bumrah has picked critical wickets, the real danger for Australia has been the batting of Cheteshwar Pujara.
Hodge said that as far as bowling is concerned, both the teams are at equal strength and the man who makes the difference happens to be Cheteshwar Pujara.
Both India and Australia have been suffering from poor opening batting, with Mayank Agarwal being an exception and every time, Pujara has stood firm in the middle order to help the team. Bumrah had been the nightmare of Aussie batsmen but Pujara had been the difference so far with his two centuries helping indian victories, said Hodge.
