James Pattinson will be watching the limited-overs series from close quarters as he preps up for the Test series against India.

He is a part of the Australian squad that will face India in the four-match Test series which will also be a part of the ICC World Test Championship.

The right-arm pacer picked 11 wickets for Mumbai Indians this season. He shared his experience with Australian Associated Press playing in the IPL this year as well as playing with Jasprit Bumrah.

Playing IPL ignited a spark to play more white-ball cricket

"I lucked out a bit going to Mumbai, the most successful franchise in IPL history. It all happened so quickly. It was such a great experience and surprise. Playing in the IPL ‘ignited a spark’ to play more white-ball cricket, to try and get back into Australia's white-ball teams."

You watch Bumrah bowl and just think how he does that

"'Boom is one of the best, if not the best T20 bowler in the world. I picked his brain. I was asking about his yorkers and how he gets them so good. He likes to bowl from a higher position and a few other things. You watch him bowl and just think how does he do that?”

“It's fantastic. He's got an unusual action, been allowed to keep doing that and it's what makes him successful. I was happy to share a lot of information around his bowling mindset. He's a fantastic guy. He bowls a lot more than I thought he would at training. He just bowls and bowls and bowls, you see how switched on he is."
