Jasprit Bumrah turned into India's 36th Test commander in the wake of being named captain for the fifth rescheduled Test against England, beginning on Friday. Bumrah is the quick bowler since Kapil Dev in 1987 to be named chief of the Indian cricket Test group.

Normal skipper Rohit Sharma neglected to recuperate in time from COVID-19 and was on Thursday governed out of the Edgbaston Test after his RAT returned positive once more. Bumrah has not captained in any First-class, list an Indian Premier League match previously, and it will be entrancing to find out how he turns out about things in the exceedingly significant fifth Test.

"Big achievement, it's a big honour. Playing a Test match was a dream for me and to get an opportunity like this is a big achievement -- among the biggest achievements in my career. So, I am very happy that I have been given this opportunity," Bumrah said while addressing a press conference after his appointment, the video of which BCCI tweeted on Friday.

Further talking about regular skipper Rohit Sharma, Bumrah said: "Rohit is obviously a very important player, we will surely miss him, it is unfortunate that this has happened and he is missing out."

India lead the five-match series 2-1 yet presently face a much-changed and more considerable England side.

Roused by the new initiative couple of commander Ben Stokes and red-ball mentor Brendon McCullum, England get the 2021 series against India on the rear of a 3-0 decisive victory over Test title holders New Zealand.

India are offering for a first Test series win in England beginning around 2007 and simply their fourth altogether to set close by triumphs in 1971 and 1986.
