Delhi: At Lord’s, India lost by 22 runs in the third Test against England. After this defeat, former Indian all -rounder Irfan Pathan has questioned the limited use of fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. He said that Bumrah should have thrown more over, especially when India needed control of the match.
‘No workload, it is necessary to win the match’
Irfan Pathan said during a conversation on his YouTube channel, “Jasprit Bumrah puts only five overs and then wait to come to bat. But, when you are on the field, there is no talk of workload, you have to win the match.”
He further said that Bumrah had not played the second Test in Edgbaston and in such a situation his workload had already been managed, so he should have given a long spell in Lord’s Test. Pathan also said that he had raised this issue even during the commentary.
Ben Stokes is 4D player: Irfan Pathan
Pathan praised England captain Ben Stokes and called him a ‘4D player’. He said, “Ben Stokes put a long spell of 9.2 overs in the morning, batting and also run out Rishabh Pant. But there was no workload management.”
He also said that more attention is often paid to workload management in India, while in such matches, one should give full force.
63 Extra run is a matter of concern
Pathan also expressed resentment on 63 additional runs given by Indian bowlers. He said that this kind of lapse can be overshadowed in such big matches.
