Gautam Gambhir Big Statement: Host England defeated India in Leeds’s headingley to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match Test series. Jasprit Bumrah bowled brilliantly for India in the Leeds Test, but he did not get the support of his team in full.
Now the team’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has openly talked about whether Bumrah will be available in the remaining four Tests. What kind of strategy does the management plan to move forward with this? In fact, this statement of Gambhir came after India in Leeds and five wickets at the hands of Ben Stokes and the company.
Will not all five Tests play Bumrah?
Regarding Jasprit Bumrah, head coach Gautam Gambhir said that no plan is being made for Bumrah to allow all five Test matches to play. Gambhir said, “There will be no change for Bumrah. It has already been decided that he will play only three Tests. Managing his workload is most important for us, because further cricket is to play further.” He said this at the press conference.
Jasprit Bumrah took 5 wickets in the first innings but did not get any success in the second innings. In fact, when India got a new ball at the end of the match, it was expected that captain Gill would give Bumrah a last chance. Instead, the captain gave the ball to Mohammad Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja. This is the reason why questions are being raised about Bumrah’s playing in this series.
Team India again repeated its mistake
In fact, after the back injury to Bumrah during the series against Australia, it was decided that he would not be able to play all Test series against England. It is completely clear that playing Jaspreet Bumrah will depend on his fitness and the team’s strategy. Let us tell you that the England team easily achieved the target of 371 runs at the loss of 5 wickets on the last day.
For England team, Ben Docket scored 149 runs, Jack Crolly 65 and the same Joe Root scored an unbeaten 53 runs. Here the Indian team also disappointed in bowling as well as fielding. The management has also accepted that it was an easy Test match to win. India’s performance with the ball was exactly the same in the first innings as in Australia. There was a lot of dependence on Bumrah to take wickets.
