<p>Between 2022-25, Bumrah has led India in three Tests, winning one and losing two. He has also been India's vice-captain in Tests in the past. His captaincy stint in Tests started against England in 2022 with the fifth rescheduled Test, which India lost by seven wickets.</p>

This was also the team's only win in the series. He returned as a captain with India being 1-2 down in the final Test at Sydney, but India lost the Test and series by 1-3 and officially exited the contention of the ICC World Test Championship finals.</p>
