Tim Southee says New Zealand play Jasprit Bumrah exceptionally well in Tests
Tim Southee said New Zealand have historically handled Jasprit Bumrah well and tipped Mohammed Siraj as a threat on home pitches.
Tim Southee says New Zealand have never lost a Test series to an Indian team that includes Jasprit Bumrah. The former Black Caps captain made the point while previewing India's two-Test tour, which starts in Wellington on November 19. Bumrah is in the squad for the Tests but has been left out of the ODIs before that to manage his workload. Southee also warned that Mohammed Siraj could be dangerous in New Zealand conditions if he keeps his length and brings the same energy he's shown lately.

The bigger question is whether India can still win the series without Bumrah's edge in the first Test, or if Siraj and the rest of the attack need to raise their level before the quick bowler returns.
