How did Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Sirj perform in 1 Test?
Bumrah, who is ready to play only three Tests in the ongoing England Tour, started his series brilliantly by lifting an outstanding 5-cicat race in the first innings of the Heading Test match.
Despite demolishing several catches with his bowling, Bumrah managed to dismiss the Zak Crolly, Ben Docket, Joe Root, Chris Woakes and Josh tongue in 24.4 overs, conceding 83 runs.
However, in the second innings, he became wicket -class and bowled 57 runs while bowling 19 overs, as England chased a target of 371 runs.
Talking about Mohammad Siraj, the right hand did not threaten in a quick match and bowled a lot of loose delivery.
In the first innings, he bowled 27 overs and scored 122 runs in the 4.51 economy, taking two wickets. Then, he bowled 14 overs in the second innings and scored 51 runs while being a wicket -free.
We are below 1-0, I will ask Bumrah to play the second Test – Ravichandran Ashwin
Speaking on his official YouTube channel, Ravichandran Ashwin advised the Indian team management to play the role of Jaspreet Bumrah in the second Test against Three Lions in Edgbaston in Birmingham, with the series to level.
Ashwin also feels that it is mandatory for Team India to include left -arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the playing XI. He explained in detail:
“We are below 1-0, I will ask Bumrah to play the second Test, and try to get it in the series too, and then he can take a break. Since there is a lot of break between the 3 and 4th Test, he can rest, and play the 2nd Test. I will only bring Kuldeep, and do not make any other changes.
“There are many batting from India, who have been elevated in our country like a God in our country. We have not raised it to that level, yet he is an artist! A skilled bowler!”
Can you not give 4 or 5 runs in every over? – Ravichandran Ashwin
Ravichandran Ashwin also gave good support to his bowling partner, Mohammad Sirj, Jasprit Bumrah. Ashwin said that Siraj should be seen to control the scoring rate, even if he is not taking wickets; Otherwise, the additional burden falls on the shoulders of Jasprit Bumrah.
“My only question is for Sirj … Can you just dry the run flow? You don’t have to take a wicket, but can’t you give 4 or 5 runs in every over? The thing is that if the run is leaking, you have to bring Bumrah back into the attack. Said.
“Or you (Ravindra) have to go with Jadeja, who have to step into stem to stem the flow of runs. Prasad (Krishna) is playing for the first time, and he is inexperienced. Therefore, Siraj has to play a bankable role,” said Ravichandran Ashwin.
