Team India’s number-1 bowler Jasprit Bumrah was not part of the team in the Asia Cup. He was rested in this mega tournament. It was said that he is not fully fit. Will return in the series against Australia and then be a part of the team in the World Cup.
Something similar happened, Bumrah was part of the team in the T20 series against Australia but did not play the first match. When Rohit Sharma was asked about him, he said that he is not fully fit yet and will play in the upcoming two matches. Bumrah came back in the second match and bowled brilliantly. He bowled Australia captain Aaron Finch’s yorker. After this, Steve Smith also bowled such a ball that he fell on the field.
The whole of India felt that India’s bowling problem in the Asia Cup is over. In the third T-20, Bumrah proved to be a bit expensive and gave away 50 runs in 4 overs. It is said that if you are coming back after an injury, it will take some time to get back into full swing.
Then on September 29, there was news that the ground slipped under the feet of Indian cricket fans. There were reports that fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will not be a part of the World Cup due to a back injury. He will be out of the entire tournament, but now BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has spoken on the issue, so Indian fans will get some relief if he listens to what he has to say.
Sourav Ganguly told a YouTube channel about Bumrah, ‘He will go to Australia with the team. He is not out of the team yet. See what’s next.’ At the same time, the BCCI official told Bhaskar, ‘He is being treated by NCA. His treatment will continue in Australia and we will make a final decision on him by October 15.’
Why do you think Bumrah will be able to play in the World Cup?
The Indian team will play their first match against Pakistan on October 23. The medical team of BCCI is looking after him for the last 3 days. That is, Bumrah will get 25 days to get fit. In this way, there is full hope that Bumrah will be able to play in the second half of the tournament.
If you don’t get the game, how big is the loss?
Ever since the announcement of the team for the T-20 World Cup, the tension between Team India has been continuously increasing. First, Ravindra Jadeja was ruled out of the World Cup due to injury and was not included in the squad, then Deepak Hooda also suffered an injury recently, due to which he was ruled out of the T20 series against South Africa.
If Jasprit Bumrah is not in the team, then the problem of bad bowling in the death overs from the Asia Cup will increase. The team’s experienced bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar is proving to be very expensive in the 18th and 19th overs. In this way, it was expected that the arrival of Bumrah would end this problem for the team.
Rohit Sharma (captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dinesh Karthik (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh.
Reserve players: Mohammed Shami, Shreyas Iyer, Ravi Bishnoi, Deepak Chahar.
