“I imply, if you first face him, it is simply his motion. It is a completely different, weird form of motion as his launch level could be very completely different than different bowlers,” Khawaja informed Fox Cricket. “It is only a bit additional up. So loads of guys launch the ball from close to the popping crease. [Against Bumrah] it appears like he will get a bit additional out simply along with his entrance braced leg and pushes the ball out.
“So it feels prefer it comes out after which will get there loads faster than you anticipate it. It is simply when you get used to the motion, it is tremendous. I performed in opposition to him loads. To not say that he cannot give me out first ball. I imply anybody can. However it’s a type of issues the place as soon as the primary time you face him, it’s totally awkward after which if you get a bit little bit of rhythm it will get higher. However he is nonetheless a category bowler.”
Khawaja feels there may be much more within the Indian assault to fret about than simply Bumrah. “Everybody talks about Jasprit, however they really have loads of different good bowlers,” Khawaja mentioned. “I feel [Mohammed] Siraj is an excellent bowler. He is an excellent bowler to each right-handers and left-handers. When [Mohammed] Shami was match, when he was enjoying these sequence, he was an excellent bowler. He was very underrated. Nobody actually talked about him. After which they obtained good spinners lining up, too, which actually enhances their quick bowlers.”
“So for me it is by no means … I am simply not fascinated about Jasprit Bumrah. You need to ask me the place do you assume… I am not fascinated about the place he’s getting me out. I am fascinated about the place am I scoring runs in opposition to him. And I am certain all good batsmen would let you know precisely the identical factor as a result of if he misses, nicely, then I am coming after which if he bowls great things, then I will respect that. In order that’s simply Check cricket.”
The five-match sequence begins with the Perth Check from November 22.
