Jasprit Bumrah workload management : The biggest headache of the Indian cricket team is about to be the issue of Jasprit Bumrah’s workload management. Earlier, the chief of the selection committee, Ajit Agarkar, said that Bumrah might not be able to play more than 5 Tests in any way, because he had just returned to cricket a month ago. And the biggest thing is that Bumrah was hurt when he went to Australia to bowl extra. And a few months later, the T20 World Cup is the beginning of next year, so Agarkara wants to keep Bumrah fit without any risk to defend the trophy.
But if Bumrah cannot be used properly in England, then the Indian team may be sad on the forehead. However, former India captain and former BCCI president Sourav Gangopadhyay gave a big message about this. He says, ‘I hope Bumrah will play in five matches. But if he has to break, it should be given in the second test. So that he must be found in the fourth and fifth Test, it is very important to have the fit of Bumrah.
How should Bumrah be used in Shubhman Gill? Sourav says, ‘Shubhman has to understand for some reason Bumrah is bowling. OK just to be used as a wicket taker, in small spells. So that he is fit in five Tests. And the rest of the bowlers like the young Arshadeep, Siraj are in a good diagram in the direction of fitness and give their best. Bumrah has to be used to take wickets, it also understands Gill. I hope the team coaches and senior cricketers will guide Gil on this issue. ‘
Sourav Gangopadhyay thinks, ‘India’s batting line up is very inexperienced in paper pen. But down the field, the matter can be different. The England team with Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes, Ben Docurate, Jamie Smith, Bridon Cars are very strong. But it cannot be said that India will lose. Nobody is the best in the game. If India works hard, and if Bumrah is fit at least four Tests, then the Indian team will win the series.
