Australia's left-handed opener Usman Khawaja admits Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah's unusual bowling action initially feels awkward, but with constant exposure to facing him, it becomes easier to handle. "I mean, when you first face him, it's just his action. It's a different, bizarre kind of action as his release point is very different than other bowlers. It's just a bit further up. So a lot of guys release the ball from near the popping crease. (Against Bumrah) it feels like he gets a bit further out just with his front braced leg and pushes the ball out," said Khawaja to Fox Sports on Thursday.

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar feels Virat Kohli has the track record to turn around his poor form during the upcoming five-match Test series against Australia.

However, Gavaskar is confident of a turnaround, especially considering Kohli's exceptional record in Australia.
