Jasprit Bumrah is one of the leading wicket-takers from the Indian side in any format he represents the team, and his name in the Indian bowling attack gives strength to the bowling department and makes his bowling comrade stick to their bowling style, but Jasprit Bumrah’s absence will not only create the void in the Indian bowling department but according to former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan it also confuse the other bowlers of their role as bowlers like Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna who are known to bowl defensively will have to change their approach in the Jasprit’s absence.
In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Irfan Pathan addresses the unavailability of Jasprit Bumrah in the team and the chaos it causes.
“How can it be sorted? The major challenge is that Bumrah’s partners bowl defensively, take a look at Prasidh Krishna, for example. But when Bumrah won’t play, then Krishna has to become an attacking bowler. Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj have to become attacking bowlers. “You’ve to play a different role when Bumrah is playing and when he isn’t playing. It creates confusion. Any bowler needs stability, and when it’s not there, there won’t be performance.”
Irfan Pathan said
As per the latest update coming out of some sources, Jasprit Bumrah is unlikely to play the next test match as the bowler remained absent from the practice session while other bowlers were seen in the practice session at Birmingham. As revealed by Gautam Gambhir, the pacer will only play 3 test matches in the series. He will likely miss the Birmingham test despite India lagging in the series by 0-1 after losing the first test match by 5 wickets at Headingley in Leeds.
As of now, India has pacers like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Shardul Thakur, and Nitish Kumar Reddy as options in the Test squad.
