England’s desire: break Bumrah’s hands and feet at Lord’s.

Delhi: Former India batsman Mohammad Kaif has made a sensational claim about the recently played against England against the Lord’s Test match. He said that when Jasprit Bumrah was playing an important partnership with Ravindra Jadeja in India’s last innings on the fifth day of the Test match, England team came under pressure. Bumrah and Jadeja’s partnership was leading India to the target of 193 runs and it seemed that Team India could win this match.

Serious allegations on Stokes-Orcher

Kaif alleged that England captain Ben Stokes and fast bowler Jofra Archer deliberately planned to injured Bumrah. He said that an attempt was made to hurt Bumrah by showcasing bouncers, so that India’s batting broke and the match would go in England’s favor. This strategy had an impact and Bumrah was out. India lost the match by 22 runs and England took a 2–1 lead in the Test series.

Bumrah’s struggle innings

Bumrah scored 5 runs in 54 balls, but his biggest role was to stay with Jadeja. His restraint and courage were knocking England. Kaif said that Bumrah and Jadeja were moving towards the target together, but then the English team targeted Bumrah.

Siraj was also targeted

Kaif also said that this plan of England was also for Mohammad Siraj. He claimed that once the ball was also hit on Siraj’s shoulder. England’s strategy was clear, injuring Indian lower order batsmen and dismissing them. He believes that this game was against the spirit and it was deliberately tried to harm the important bowler like Bumrah.

Kaif’s question: Is this game spirit?

Mohammad Kaif questioned this strategy of England and said that the way to stop Bumrah should not have been breaking his hands and feet. Strategy is necessary in the game, but bowling with the intention of hurting is against the dignity of cricket.
