India won by 6 runs against England by performing a strong performance at Cainington Oval. In this match, all the players from India played a key role in their team’s victory by performing strongly. However, despite winning the Oval Test, former captain Sunil Gavaskar Gautam Gambhir And Jaspreet has said a lot while targeting Bumrah. According to former captain Gavaskar, a word should be thrown out completely from the dictionary of Indian cricket.
Former player gave an example of Siraj
Sunil Gavaskar told India Today, there has always been a saying that bowlers win the match but you also need to score runs. Team India did not score runs and that is why they lost two matches. Mohammad Siraj bowled continuously and completely eliminated the workload business. I hope that the word ‘workload’ should be thrown out of Indian cricket dictionary and I have been saying this for a long time. Siraj threw a spell of 6 overs, 7 overs and 8 overs without stopping in all five Tests as the captain wanted and the country expected the same from him.
Sunil Gavaskar further said, we should always keep one thing in mind that workload is just a mindset and this is not a physical thing. Do Indian soldiers standing on the border complain of cold? In a country of 140 crores, you have got a chance to play with Team India and you should not let it go like this.
Why did Sunil Gavaskar say this
Sunil Gavaskar has spoken this because Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar had confirmed that before the commencement of the Test series, Jaspreet Bumrah will take part in only three matches due to the workload. He also played only three matches in this series. He participated in the first, third and fourth Tests. Sunil Gavaskar did not like this thing at all. The team management took this decision regarding Bumrah because there was some trouble in his knee. At the same time, Sunil Gavaskar gave an example of Mohammad Siraj and said that he bowled in all five Tests and folded long spells.
Test series ended on par
England won the first Test match between these two teams, while Team India won the second Test. England won in the third Test. The fourth Test match was drawn between the two teams, while India won the fifth and the last match. England needed 374 runs to win this match but the team could score 367 runs. Talking about Mohammad Siraj, he took a total of 9 wickets in the last match and won Team India. Not only this, he was the highest wicket -taking bowler in this Test series. He took 23 wickets in five Tests. The Test series ended at 2-2.
