Jasprit Bumrah was India’s stand out participant with 32 wickets of their 1-3 thrashing by the hands of Australia within the just-concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He featured both with the bat or with ball on all days of the sequence, besides one. He couldn’t bowl within the remaining innings of the sequence in Sydney after struggling again spasms. The 30-year-old Bumrah bowled greater than 150 overs within the sequence. According to a report in information company PTI, the damage has a direct hyperlink to his extreme workload within the sequence.
According to sources aware about the event, the grade of Bumrah’s again spasm has not but been ascertained. Former India star spinner Harbhajan Singh stated Bumrah was over-used by the Indian crew administration.
“He was used like you squeezed juice from sugarcane. It was like ‘Travis Head has come, give the ball to Bumrah, Marnus has come, give the ball to Bumrah, Steve Smith has come, give the ball to Bumrah’. How many overs will Bumrah bowl? He has been reduced to such a condition that he was not available at the end. If he was there, Australia may have won the fifth Test but they would have lost eight wickets, it would have been tough for them,” Harbhajan Singh stated on his YouTube channel.
“You broke his back and the management should have decided on how many overs he should be given.”
The nice spinner was unforgiving in his evaluation of India’s crew choice for the fifth Test in Sydney.
“The team selection was not right. Two spinners were played on a spicy pitch, you saw green patches. It is beyond my understanding that despite playing so much cricket and watching so much cricket you do not understand such a small thing… what to do on such pitch. The gentleman who has gone there and sitting there together if he is not able to understand this thing then I don’t know what he is doing,” he stated.
“What is the purpose of getting two spinners on this pitch. Your spinners did bowl little or no, you’re simply making batting line-up longer. It isn’t proper, they’re simply caught of their stubbornness. This isn’t a T20 format, that is Test cricket.
