The Indian assistant coach Ryan summed up the comparison between Jasprit Bumrah and Ben Stokes about their relevant workloads. Stokes was praised for his performance In the Lord Bowling test of 14 consecutive crossed on the fourth and fifth day, and led England to the 22-run victory, which was earned by the player of the match award.
He said ten in the morning that the power of Bumrah lies in short magic with high impact, and India is not interested in comparing his pitch with those from other teams. He stressed that each pitch has unique skills and should plan according to their individual strengths.
“Ben was very impressive – with this intensity on day 5, along with his launching and fields. But we don’t compare our superficials with others. We have our own strengths. Jasprit, for example, benefits in the short, sharp spells that works for us.
“Some of the pitchers – like (Mohammed) Siraj – take care of their spells, culminate in their 7th, 8th or 9th or 9th place. Not everyone is the same and we plan accordingly,” Doechaste told Beckenham, where the Indian team trained on Thursday.
Irfan Pathan critical to Jasprit Bumhrah
Previously, after the loss of India in the Lord’s test, which recorded them that they had fallen 1-2 in a series of five matches, the former Indian Irfan Pathan was critical to Bumrah. He pointed out that while Ben Stokes bowed tireless charm in the opening session on day 5, Bumrah got into a bowl when Joe Root arrived at the fold.
Pathan also questioned the need for further rest for Bumrah and noted that he was missing the Birmingham test.

“Ben Stokes in the morning on day 5. On the day of the marathon 9.2 over the magic. What a player is. Bows, bats and make decisive to get out of Rishabh Pant, but the management of work is not talked about.
“Bumrah mixes five crosses and waits for Joe Root to go on the bat when you need to control the game (in the second shift). It was disappointing,” Pathan said on his YouTube channel.
“His workload was managed that he did not play in Edgbaston.
Bumrah is currently the second highest goal of the series because he claimed two five goals. India started a series with a loss of five goals in Headingley, Leeds, but was strongly reflected in the commanding 336 victories in Edgbaston.
However, the defeat at Lord put them on the hind leg and let them win in Manchester to keep their hopes for a series of victory alive.
