Despite taking 30 wickets, Bumrah will be out of this series, Rohit Sharma hinted
Rohit Sharma on Bumrah: In view of the Champions Trophy 2025, Indian speed star Jasprit Bumrah may be rested from the upcoming T20 series against England.
Indian speed star Jasprit Bumrah has bowled brilliantly in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He has taken 30 wickets at an average of 12.83. The rest of the bowlers have taken 36 wickets at an average of 41.33. The 31-year-old fast bowler has also taken 5 wickets in the Melbourne Test. Soon after India's loss, captain Rohit Sharma was asked if there was a risk of bowling more than Bumrah? Indian captain Rohit Sharma said, yes, it is so. Honestly, he has bowled a lot of overs. There is no doubt about it, but again we keep it in mind in every Test match we play. You know, how important is the workload of all the bowlers really. If someone is in such good form, you want to try and maintain that form as much as you can and take advantage of it. That's what we are trying to do with Bumrah.
He said, there comes a time when you have to back off a bit and give him extra rest too. So we have been very careful, I have been careful, talking to him about how he feels and other things like that. Yes, these things have to be managed carefully and I am trying to do that on the field.
53.2 overs that Bumrah bowled in Melbourne were the most he has bowled in a single test match. At the same time so far in the series, he has bowled 141.2 overs which separates him from Pat Cummins at 136.4, Mitchell Starc at 131.2, and Mohammed Siraj at 129.1.
