The 5 -match Test series between India and England has reached a very exciting turn. The England team won the Lord’s Test and took a 2–1 lead. In such a situation, the fourth match of the series will be like a do or die for the Indian team. To stay in the series, he has to avoid losing this match. In such a situation, former India captain and veteran spinner Anil Kumble has made a request from the team management and has also warned the team management.
Anil Kumble’s team warns India
Actually, the Indian team management has already made it clear that Jaspreet Bumrah will play only three matches in this series. He has played 2 matches so far, so he will take part in one of the upcoming 2 matches. But after trailing 1-2 in the series, Anil Kumble has requested the head coach Gautam Gambhir to convince Bumrah to play in the fourth Test, otherwise Team India can lose the series. Let me tell you, India has to play the next 2 matches at Manchester and Kennington Oval.
Talking on Jio Hotstar, Anil Kumble said, ‘If I were a part of that group, I would definitely ask Bumrah to play the next match, because he is very important. If he does not play and then you will lose the test and the series will end. I think Bumrah should play both the remaining tests. I know that he said that I will play only three Tests. After this we have a long break. You do not need to play home series. You can take a break if you want.
Shubman Gill gave updates on Bumrah
Due to the workload management to Bumrah, it has been decided to feed only 3 matches in this series. After such Lord’s Test, Shubman Gill was also asked questions on Bumrah. In the post match presentation after the match, when captain Shubman Gill was asked about playing in the fourth Test of Bumrah, he gave, ‘You will know soon’. That is, whether Bumrah will play in the next match or not, it is not clear yet, but soon it will be decided.
