Team India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is all set to play his first Test series in Australia starting in Adelaide on Thursday. To prepare for the gruelling four-match series the visitors played a four-day warm-up match against Cricket Australia XI at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Bumrah came out to bowl for the first time on the last day of the practice match on Saturday and dismissed tail-ender Jackson Coleman with a peach of a delivery. It was a stunning yorker from India's death-overs specialist which ripped through Coleman's stumps sending a warning sign to the hosts ahead of the series opener. Coleman, who was batting on 36 off 65, had no answer to Bumrah's brilliant delivery that went on to hit the off stump and marked the end of the innings for Cricket Australia XI.
Jasprit Bumrah cleans up the final CA XI wicket. All out for 544, a lead of 183.
