India Trail England 1-2 in a series of 5 matches after playing 3 test matches. Interestingly, India lost both tests where Bumrah played. In fact, the records show that India has won 70 percent of tests that Bumrah does not play, and won just over 40 percent of the games when Bumrah is in the team.
As experts and fans try to analyze this unique statistics, former Australian captain Greg Chapppell said India must end his obsession Jasprit Bumhrah. In the Espncricinfo, Chappell column, the cricket is a team sport, and India can only win matches on the day it appears as a unit.
He said that the conversation of Jasprit Bumrah has been withdrawn since then and focuses on incorrect things in a high -pressure series.
“And the word about Bumrah: The obsession with whether or not it is missing. India has won a lot of tests without it. The key is not individual brilliance, it is a collective performance. Teams win when everyone does their work.
The time to give Gill to define its brand
Chappell said that the test match in Manchester will be a moment for Captain Shardman Gill, which will have to set the standard for the rest of the team and will be answered for him.
“If Gill wants to become a great test captain, it is his moment when his authority is stamped. Not only with a bat but with his leadership. Determine the standard. Require others.
Former India coach reminded fans in his final remarks that a cricket game was not about heroes, but a partnership among players who bring the best of the second.
“Because in the end cricket is not about heroes. It’s a partnership. It’s about teams. And they’re the captains who bring the best of them,” Chapppell said.
“If Gill can lead with the clarity of thinking and the power of purpose, it will not just shape this series, it will form the future of the Indian cricket,” the former cricket concluded.
