“We got against New Zealand after drabbing, I don’t think Gautam Gambhir or Shubman Gill, because this is his first domestic series as captain, I am sure that he does not even want to give an inch, not even a quarter. I think he is very serious about Test cricket,” Varun Aaron said on ESPN Cricinfo.
“India has built a lot of housing for Jasprit Bumrah,” Varun follows Aaron
In the rich test series of last month between India and England, India has played Bumrah in only three of their 5 matches. When announced, there was a division of opinion; However, Indian management remained firm on its objectives.
