What did Jaspreet Bumrah do at Lord’s?
Jasprit Bumrah was rested in the second match of this series. But now he is about to return. Indian Test captain Shubman Gill has also confirmed that Bumrah will play Lord’s Test after not playing at Edgbaston. Therefore, they have started their preparations without losing any time. Only 11 players took part in this optional practice session, one of it was Jaspreet Bumrah.
30 minutes of fear for England
Jasprit Bumrah bowled with full enthusiasm in the optional practice session and harassed the batsmen in the nets. According to media reports, Bumrah bowled on the net to Abhimanyu Ishwar and Sai Sudarshan for about 30 minutes. During this time he appeared in good rhythm, which are good signs for Team India. Actually, Lord’s is expected to be a helpful pitch for fast bowlers. England coach Brendon McCullum has indicated a change in the pitch of Lord’s. In such a situation, Jasprit Bumrah’s return is no less than a fear for England. If you get a helpful pitch for fast bowlers, then Bumrah can prove to be more fatal.
These players did not take part in practice
Many star players of Team India did not participate in the optional practice session. After reaching London, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal rested. Fast bowlers Mohammad Siraj and Akash Deep, who played Edgbaston Test, also kept distance from the optional practice session keeping in mind the workload management and recovery.
