The former cricket India Dinesh Karthik remained after the second day of the first test match between India and England. On Saturday, the Indian fast bowling unit failed to control the English battery line, when the hosts set out for 209 for a loss of 3 goals in just 49 overs. The rapid champion Jasprit Bumrah raised on 21 June. All three goals because the rest of the Pacers did not appear.
Karthik, talking on Cricbuzz, said that there is a huge emptiness between Bumrah and the rest of the Indian fast pitchmakers, which hurts the team’s prospects. Of the 49 Overs Bowled, Bumrah took 13 of them, only one for 14 Mohammed Siri. The other two Pacers, Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur, bowed 10 and 3 overs.
ENG vs Indian. Test day 2 emphasizes
Karthik unfortunate from using Bumhrah said that India has the habit of bringing Indian Speedster to attack whenever they needed a goal.
“Between (Bumrah) and the rest was too much emptiness,” Karthik said after Saturday’s game Cricbuzz.
“And you saw England also had it on the back of their minds that:” If we play this charm, we would have a good chance. “This will put pressure on the captain, because every time he is under pressure, he will now go to Bumrah.
“In a day when the 60 overs (49) are barely bowed, Bumrah has already bowed 13. Every time you need a goal, it must be Bumrah. And it always does for you, so you get into this habit.
Bumhrahov’s workload concerns
In Karthik’s argument is due to Jasprit Bumrah. The fast pitch also exceeded the Border-Gavascar Trophy 2024-25. In this series Bumrah played all the matches and had to leave in the middle of the last test due to back injury.
The fast pitch has already explained that he will play 3 test matches in India to take care of his body in the long run. India would have to be careful about using a fast pitch, given that several major competitions would be sorted in the near future.
Not only Karthik, but the former head coach of India Ravi Shastri, was also concerned about the workload of the fast bowler after the second day of the test match.
“The Bumrah cover and what his workload will be, as the series proceeds, because he is the only man who is expected to choose the goals he mixes,” Shastri said at the end of day 2. “I just hope that someone at the other end raises their hands.”
