But the fans don’t ever get a chance to see them face off against each other, which would just be an epic battle. Having said that, both are once-in-a-lifetime players, and have won many matches for India together. The last one being the first IND vs AUS Test in Perth, where they were at their very best.

Now, in the lead up to the second Test in Adelaide, that begins of December 6, both were up against each other in the nets. And that contest was nothing short of a cracker. As per various videos being circulated on the web, initially Bumrah looked to take the upper hand, and Virat didn’t look the most comfortable, leaving a few, and mistiming the others.
But soon the former India skipper found his groove, and cracked a few solid cover drives, to show his prowess against the might of Bumrah. Now, the both will be up against each other in the IPL 2025, playing for respective franchises, MI and RCB.
