Jasprit Bumrah, who is one of the vice-captains in absence of KL Rahul, will lead the team,” a senior BCCI official told PTI on conditions of anonymity. Bumrah is the second fast bowler after Kapil Dev to captain India in Tests. The visitors are leading the series 2-1. A win or a draw in this encounter will hand them the series.
