Indian coach shut down queries on Bumrah in Oval Test:

Delhi: When Jaspreet Bumrah was not included in the team in the ongoing fifth Test match against England, cricket fans and critics started questioning the team management. The oval pitch was cloudy and grass was also present, which could help the fast bowlers. In such a situation, many people expressed their displeasure over the decision to make Bumrah out.

Ryan Ten Doshet supported Bumrah

India’s Assistant Coach Ryan Ten Dochet defended Bumrah at the press conference after the first day of the match was over. He said that it is wrong to say that Bumrah plays the match and plays. “He had already told that he would play 3 Tests in this tour. We only decided which three matches he would be.”

Emphasis on workload management

The coach said that this decision has been taken keeping in mind the condition of Bumrah’s body. “We all want them to play every match, but we have to take care of their fitness as well. They have put a lot of overs in this series. It may seem that he has played only three Tests, but the number of over has been high.”

Performance so far was excellent

Jasprit Bumrah took a total of 119.4 overs in this series and took 14 wickets. His average was 26 and he also took five wickets twice. However, his performance in the fourth Test played in Manchester was a bit weak, where he gave more than 100 runs in 35 overs and could take only two wickets.

Karun Nair handled the innings

The famous Krishna has been given a chance in the Oval Test in place of Bumrah, while Akash Deep was included in the team in place of Anshul Kamboj. India had lost 6 wickets for 204 runs by the end of the first day’s play. Karun Nair handled the team in a difficult situation by gathering half -centuries (52*) after a long time.
