Close IndiaThe painful defeat of five wicket at England In the opening test in Headingley, main coach Gambhir Gautam confirmed that team management will not divert from their determined strategy to play Jasprit bumrah In just three five -party series tests.
India suffers from defeat in Headingley despite the exceptional jasprit bumrah bowls
This plan, formed in coordination with the same Bumrah, aimed to preserve the long -term Premier Fast Bowler form, especially after his return of a serious back injury. Bumrah had made it clear to the Cricket Control Board in India (BCCI) In the face of the series that he would not be able to present in all five games and even rejected the offer of captaincy to avoid complications in XI playing if he had to rest in half. Despite his exceptional performance at Headingley, a five -ticket route of five entrances (5/83) and intense spells in the second post, the Indian bowl was generally reduced and the rest of the rhythm attack was combined for 9/482 puzzling figures in 92 points. This discrepancy has only intensified the spotlight when and where Bumrah should play.

Ravi Shastri names the two tests waiting for Bumrah to play against England
Speaking to Sky Sports, former coach of India Ravi Shastri He offered his opinion on how India could handle bumrah’s limited appearances. “Bumrah said he will play three test games. Now which of the three will play, this is another question to be asked” Shastri emphasized, approaching the uncertainty around Bumrah rotation. He suggested that Bumrah could jump the second test to Edgbaston and return to the third test at Lord’s, a place of historical and emotional significance for Indian players. “I think if you take a break, it will be as follows, because you definitely want to play Lord’s, right?” The old Indian cricketter added.
Shastri presented the series calendar, emphasizing, “There is a break and then go to Lord’s, then there is a break, and then there is an option between Manchester and the oval.” However, he concluded with a precautionary word: “It could be 2-0. So this is the problem. I think you have to play.” Shastri’s observations mean the critical nature of the presence of Bumrah, especially with India that is already achieved, and suggest that, while the management of the workload is still essential, the urgency of turning around the series could force the team to reconsider its rest stages.
