Gautam Gambhir dropped Jaspreet Bumrah? There was a long conversation in the middle of the field and then…
Team India has to play the second match of the Test series against England at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. Before this match, a big update has come about star fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah. He bowled very well in the first match of the series.
In the 5-match Test series between India and England, the hosts are leading 1-0. Team India had to face defeat in the Leeds Test. Now the second match of the series between the two teams will be played at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. This match will start from July 2, for which the Indian team is busy preparing. Amidst all this, a shocking news has come out about the team's star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah.
For the last few days, there have been reports that Jasprit Bumrah will not be a part of the second match of the series. The team management is giving priority to his workload management. Now something has happened in Edgbaston after which it is almost certain that Bumrah will not play in the second Test. According to media reports, a long conversation was seen between Gambhir and Bumrah during the practice session at Edgbaston, and after this it has been decided that Bumrah will be rested in the second Test.
However, Jasprit Bumrah bowled during the practice session in Birmingham on Monday afternoon. On the other hand, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh and Prasidh Krishna sweated it out on the field. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna are likely to retain their place in the playing XI for the second Test. But in the first Test, Siraj and Krishna together took only 9 wickets, their economy rate was also more than 6. On the other hand, Akash Deep will be given a chance as the third fast bowler or Arshdeep Singh may get a chance to debut in Tests.
Let us tell you, in the first Test, Bumrah performed brilliantly and took five wickets in the first innings, but he could not take any wicket in the second innings. Despite this, his bowling remained the strongest weapon for India. However, head coach Gautam Gambhir had already made it clear that Bumrah will not play all the five Tests of this series and his services will be taken in only three Tests. In such a situation, Bumrah not practicing this time is being considered an indication that he is sure to be given rest in this match.
