Jasprit Bumrah vs Ollie Pope : India’s pacer Jaspreet Bumrah is going to play in only five matches for Team India in the upcoming India-England series. He may not be able to get more matches for workload management. Yet he is going to be a big weapon in this series for Team India. If he could play in five Tests, India’s power would have increased a lot. But because of that, Team India is currently focusing on three Tests.
England batter Oli Pope got some relief in not playing all the matches. The England batter has been under pressure several times in the past against Indian pacer. He will come to play at number three against India. Earlier in the Test, the Pope was dismissed five times against Bumrah, who scored only 5 runs. The batting average against Bumrah is less than 5.
In an interview to The Times, Oli Pope revealed how he would play against Bumrah’s bowling this time. The co -captain of the English said, ‘I want to give myself some time. Because he is a bowler who does not bowl as fast as the rest of the bowlers. But for his action it seems as if the ball is coming a little early. I will keep this skill in mind. ‘
Pope played against Bumrah in three series. But the English star does not want to cut the hangover. Pope says, ‘I played in three series against him. I’m trying to keep him under pressure. He can bowl 20 overs a day, but it is a lot. So you need to take pressure if needed, and when the time comes, you have to press the counter. But that does not mean that he has to beat four sixes, I can try to keep him under pressure by rotating the strike. If he bowls well, then you can get the benefit of me or my partner with six balls, and one of the best bowlers in the world, so we have to play.
