Jasprit Bumrah pays homage to Brett Lee with iconic chainsaw celebration; Aussie bowling legend reacts

Bumrah stepped up as the captain of the Indian team in the opening Test match in the absence of Rohit Sharma, and made a significant impact in the first innings. He showcased his bowling prowess by claiming a five-wicket haul, with a remarkable first spell that saw him snatch three wickets in just six overs.

Watch as Bumrah spoke to Lee:

Lee is widely considered as one of the best fast bowlers in history; he represented Australia in 76 Tests, picking 310 wickets. He was a fearsome pacer in the fifty-over format, clinching 380 wickets in just 221 ODIs for the side. Lee is a twin-World Cup winner, too, playing a key role in Australia's successful 2003 and 2007 campaigns.

In the first Test, Bumrah registered figures of 5/30 in 18 overs; he dismissed both openers, Usman Khawaja (8) and Sydney McSweeney (10), and then removed Steve Smith on a first-ball duck. Bumrah's fiery spell played a key role as the hosts were dismissed for just 104 in their first innings.

The stand-in captain later dismissed the dangerous-looking Alex Carey (21 off 31 balls) and eventually completed his five-wicket haul with the dismissal of Australian counterpart Pat Cummins, removing him for just 3.

The visitors made a stellar comeback with the bat in the second innings of the Perth Test, with Yashasvi Jaiswal smashing a brilliant century (161). KL Rahul, too, scored a gritty 77 as the duo stitched an incredible 201-run stand for the first wicket. Virat Kohli, too, showed signs of a return to run-scoring form, going past the fifty-run mark for only the second time since India returned to the format in August earlier this year.
