Bumrah's family was in Perth to witness India's 295-victory over Australia in the first Test at the Optus Stadium, and he could not conceal his delight.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, arrived in Delhi on Tuesday and linked up with rest of the Indian team, many of whom were playing in the two-Test series against West Indies.

Skipper Shubman Gill acknowledged that the choice between a spinner and an extra seamer for the first Test against South Africa is nothing short of a "conflict".
Shubman Gill is enjoying a 'honeymoon period' as India's Test captain but there will be more pressure on him in the days to come, feels former India skipper Sourav Ganguly.
For the first time in many years, India are going into a home Test match as underdogs and not favourites. Ask any player worth his salt and he would tell that it is not a happy place to be.
Bumrah also said that the team has finalised its playing XI although he will reveal it only at the toss.
Rohit Sharma has expressed his desire to remain captain for a transitional period while urging the Board to continue their search for a new leader.

Bumrah also that the team respects Kohli's decision to give up Test captaincy and was duly informed by the star batter.
Earlier, warm-up routines had players darting through shuttle runs and high knees before bats were unsheathed.
Bumrah bowled 53.2 overs at the MCG, the most he has ever bowled in a Test match.

In response, the visitors were 51/4 on a rain-hit third day with questions being raised about batters' technique and the quality of bowling, save for Bumrah.
Washington Sundar enhanced his reputation as a T20 hitter with India batting in top gear through the innings to comfortably chase down a target of 187 for a series levelling five-wicket win over Australia.
'Though I would like to see him in the playing XI, Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma will open the batting for the team.'

Dravid fully understood what the younger crop of players were going through after the loss in the final, following a dominant 10-match win streak, saying that he went through such emotions when India lost to Australia in the 2003 World Cup finals, and it hurts a lot when something comes really close and players miss out on it.
