Sunil Gavaskar And Jasprit Bumrah
Sunil Gavaskar On Jasprit Bumrah: The last match of the five-Test series between India and England will be played on the grounds of Dharamshala from March 7. Team India has already taken a 3-1 lead in the series. The Indian team won the fourth test match by 5 wickets. Indian team’s star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was rested from the fourth Test match. But he has returned to the squad for the fifth Test match. Now Sunil Gavaskar has said a big thing on this.
Questions raised on giving rest to Bumrah
Sunil Gavaskar has written in his column of Mid Day that despite bowling only 15 overs in the first innings of the third Test in Rajkot and then eight overs in the second innings, Bumrah was probably rested for Ranchi on the recommendation of the trainer. Don’t forget that there was a nine-day break between the second Test and the third Test match and then bowling 23 overs in the entire match is not tiring at all, so why was Bumrah rested? After the fourth Test there was an eight-day break before the final Test match.
The athletes then have full time to recover and get ready to play for the country. It was not in the interest of the Indian team to rest Bumrah. Because the fourth test match was very important. If England had won it, the last Test match would have proved decisive. Gavaskar was very happy with the performance of Akashdeep, who was included in the playing eleven in place of Jasprit Bumrah in the fourth Test match. He wrote that Akash Deep bowled excellently. Showed once again that it doesn’t matter if the big names don’t play. Young players will always be happy with this.
Young players performed strongly
In the fourth Test match, young bowler Akash Deep bowled only in the first innings. Then he took three wickets in his name. Apart from this, Dhruv Jurel performed strongly in both the innings. He contributed 90 runs in the first innings and 39 runs in the second innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill also performed well. It is because of these players that Team India won the fourth test match by 5 wickets.
