Jasprit Bumrah speaks a lot about fitness and all. But the fact is that whenever the team needs it most, it gets injured or becomes effective. All this publicity made by taking wickets of talenders.

You will hardly see anyone criticizing anyone #Bumrah Openly for not bowling well. I think he is a legend, but we need to tell that he was not able to use the conditions.
