Jasprit Bumrah
The Indian cricket team is ready to shine on the field after a long break of more than 1 month. The Indian team will be in action in the Test series against Bangladesh from September 19. The host Indian team has been announced for the 2-match Test series. Rishabh Pant has returned to the Test team after a long time while Yash Dayal has been included in the team for the first time. Sarfaraz Khan and KL Rahul managed to get a place in the team but Rajat Patidar, Devdutt Padikkal and Mukesh Kumar had bad luck.
There is no vice-captain in the team
Indian fast bowling hero Jasprit Bumrah has also returned to the team. Jasprit Bumrah, who was the vice-captain during the England Test series, will be seen playing as a bowler in the first Test against Bangladesh. No vice-captain has been announced for this series. The first Test will start on September 19 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. After this, the second Test will be played at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from September 27.
Jasprit Bumrah played the role of vice-captain during the Test series against England earlier this year. After this, it was expected that he would continue in this position, but fans were surprised to see Bumrah’s name not written as vice-captain in the team for the first Test against Bangladesh. Bumrah is counted among players like KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant in Team India, who can lead Team India when the time comes. Despite this, Bumrah was not given the role of vice-captain. This somehow shows that the BCCI and the team management are probably not seeing him as a future captain.
Career plagued by injuries
Bumrah has been a part of Team India for a long time. He has led the Indian team in the rescheduled Test match played against England in 2022 and the 2023 match against Ireland, where his captaincy was highly praised. But it is also not hidden from anyone that he has been in and out of Team India in the last few years due to injury and fitness. In such a situation, the team management would like to make a player the captain in his place whose fitness does not become a hindrance to the team and the captaincy of the team.
Indian team for the first Test match against Bangladesh: Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Yash Dayal.
