Ahead of One Day International (ODI) series in India, Australia captain Aaron Finch heaped praise on Jasprit Bumrah, saying the seamer is a fantastic and aggressive bowler and his batsmen must wary of the bowler in the upcoming ODI assignment starting next week.  

Bumrah will be returning to ODI action in the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia after a three-month injury lay-off, and Finch is wary of the threat the seamer could pose in the series starting in Mumbai on January 14 but stressed on the need to focus on their own strengths.

The Aussie skipper further urged his batsmen to not "overplay" the Bumrah factor in the upcoming ODI series, saying he is a bowler whom everyone loves watching him bowl on the field.

Finch told reporters during a media interaction in Mumbai, “I think, more and more guys face him, the more exposure you get, the more you start to understand how he bowls. So it is important that we don't overplay that too much.”

He will open the Australian innings alongside the destructive batsman David Warner, as the two will be facing Bumrah first up and the skipper said: “He is obviously a fantastic bowler and someone who, when you are not playing against him, you love watching him bowl.”

Finch signed off, “He is fast and aggressive and his execution is pretty spot on. It is more about focusing on what we are as a batting unit against that and each player has different strengths and weaknesses. So (we are doing) what we have to do for mentally being prepared for that challenge.”
