It may cost India dearly to accommodate Bumrah!

IND vs ENG: The Indian team is currently playing a five-match Test series with England. The Indian team seems to be in good form in the series. Rohit Sharma is handling the command of the Indian team. After the defeat in the first test match, the Indian team made a brilliant comeback and took a 2-1 lead in the series. The fourth match of the Indian team will be played in Ranchi from 23 February. Indian team’s star bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been released from the team for the fourth match. In such a situation, the biggest question that has emerged is that in the Ranchi Test, where Team India needs to make full efforts to win, Bumrah was made to sit out citing workload management. Rohit Sharma himself knows that in the absence of Bumrah, India’s pace attack will not only be weak but it will affect the entire team. If the England team wins the test match played in Ranchi, then it will level the series. If this happens, then India will have to play a decisive test match in the fifth test to be held in Dharamshala.

IND vs ENG: Bumrah’s magic could have worked in Ranchi

Indian team’s star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah could have played the role of a main bowler in the Ranchi Test match. The real thing is that Bumrah is bowling amazingly at present. He is getting support from his pace along with the pitch. This time in the Test match being played, the pitch is mainly helping the spin bowlers, but Bumrah has taken 17 wickets so far in the current Test. Which is the highest so far in this series. Bumrah bowled amazingly in the test match played in Visakhapatnam. Bumrah took nine wickets in Vizag. Bumrah keeps the balls on those lines and lengths from where he gets wickets. In view of this, it was very important to keep Bumrah in the Test match to be held in Ranchi. Bumrah’s absence can prove to be a threat to the Indian team.

IND vs ENG: KL Rahul also out of the team

KL Rahul, who played innings of 86 and 22 runs in the first Test in Hyderabad, returned for the Rajkot Test, but his playing depended on his fitness. He could not clear the fitness test, as a result he did not get a chance to play in the third test. Now KL Rahul is out of the fourth Test to be held in Ranchi. His participation in the final Test match in Dharamshala depends on fitness.

IND vs ENG: Will Akash Deep make his test debut?

Indian team’s fast bowler Mohammad Siraj seems to be in very good form in the test match being played. It is considered certain that Siraj will play in the Ranchi Test. Whereas Mukesh Kumar’s form is not looking good. In such a situation, there is a possibility that the Indian team may make changes in its playing 11 in the test match to be played in Ranchi. Akash Deep may get a chance to make his test debut for the Indian team. Let us tell you, Mukesh has got 104 wickets in 30 first class matches. He has 42 wickets in his name in 28 List A matches. Apart from this, he has taken 48 wickets in 41 T20 matches. Whereas Akash Deep represents the Bengal team in domestic cricket. He plays for RCB in IPL.
