IND Vs ENG: There is a question mark over Jasprit Bumrah’s play in the third Test against England, which will begin on February 15. Jasprit Bumrah joined Team India in Rajkot just a day before the match. According to Cricbuzz’s report, Jasprit Bumrah keeps missing training sessions. However, the picture on whether Bumrah will be part of the playing XI in the third Test could clear up on Wednesday. Given the lack of experience in the middle order, the team management is also planning to enter the field with 4 bowlers instead of 5.
After a six-day break, Indian players reached Rajkot on February 11. Team India players have been training for the third Test since February 11. But Bumrah has not yet become part of the practice camp. According to Cricbuzz report, Jasprit Bumrah can take part in training on Wednesday. Initially, it was announced that Jasprit Bumrah would be rested after the third Test. But due to the ten-day gap between the second and third Tests, the chances of Jasprit Bumrah playing increased. According to recent reports, Bumrah will play in the third Test and may be rested from the fourth Test.
Situation regarding Bumrah’s game unclear
As of now, the image of Jasprit Bumrah’s piece is unclear. In the absence of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, Team India’s batting line-up looks very weak. In such a situation, Devdutt Padikkal might get a chance to debut along with Sarfaraz Khan to strengthen the batting line-up. In this case, Team India will enter the field with three spinners. Ravindra Jadeja is fit and ready to return. Ashwin and Jadeja’s numbers are already confirmed. Jasprit Bumrah is the only fast bowler who can be part of the team in Rajkot.
