Gavaskar gave the examples of Kapil Dev and Imran Khan while suggesting that fast bowlers can also make good captains and backing Jasprit Bumrah for the role.

Sunil Gavaskar said that Jasprit Bumrah can go on to become an efficient captain for India in the future. On Monday, under Bumrah's captaincy, India won the Perth Test by 295 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

The Indian team came to play the five-Test match series against Australia after losing a Test series at home against New Zealand. They made a brilliant comeback by defeating Australia by 295 runs in the first Test match in Perth.
