Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah (AFP photo) New Delhi: The legend of Sachin Tentulkar Batting believes that India wins two tests against England in the absence of Jasprit Bumhrah, was a purely “coincidence” and claimed that the quality of ESA PACE remains “exceptional and incredible”. Bumrah performed in three out of five tests in a recently closed series, which ended with a heavily fought 2-2 draw. In particular, India has received both tests in which Bumrah did not play, as part of a pre -planned workload management strategy.Tendulkar felt that the Indian victory in Birmingham and the Oval without Bumrah was rather lucky. He emphasized Bumhrah’s impact on the three matches he played, where he claimed a total of 14 goals.

“Bumrah started really well, he got five goal in (first shift) of the first test. He did not play the second test, but (played) third and fourth. Again, in (one of) these two tests, he received five goals (move),” he said in his “Reddit” series.“Of the three tests he played, he picked up five goals twice. I know people discuss a number of things that we won the tests he didn’t play. It’s just a coincidence for me.”“The quality of Bumhrah is exceptional. What he has been able to do is still incredible. He was undoubtedly a consistent artist (a) I would put it directly to the top with anyone else,” he added.In Bumhrah’s absence, Mohammed Sij played with an excellent effort and picked up 23 goals in all five tests, while bowling a total of 185.3 overs.Bumrah still remains in the total number – 219 goals in 48 tests, compared to 123 goals Sirije in 41 matches.Bumrah, who was sitting the fifth test that had to win, caused a workload debate, but the team management claimed that the Premier Pacer was not possible.Tendulkar also appreciated the versatile Washington Sundar for his versatile contribution throughout the series.“He played at any time, contributed. Even if you look at the second test match, in the fourth shift he bowed to the key ball Ben Stokes just before lunch on the fifth day. He got him.“In the last test, when it was time to intervene, he hit 53 runs. He accelerated brilliantly.”“Where it was necessary to occupy the fold, he was able to do it in the fourth test and where it was about hard pressing the accelerator, he did it in the fifth test. Good work, Washi … I really enjoyed it,” he added.Tendulkar also shared his view of the heated moment that followed the Indian refusal to accept the draw offered by England Ben Stokes during the Manchester test.

He defended the decision to play and said that both Washington and Jadeja had all the rights to go for centuries and that the Indian team had acted in the “true spirit”.“People talk about the fourth test match, whether the hundreds of Washington and Jadeja were in the right spirit? Why shouldn’t it be?“Previously, England was supposed to go to them (and despite), everything, if the dough is still firing, if it sees it through it and at the end of the daily game, if it is (still) launching … Both, yes, they got (their) hundreds, but I think the series was alive.”“Why should they go to (dressing rooms) and have the rest of the English Fields and pitching? If they want to mix Harry Brook or anything, this is Ben Stokes’ selection, that’s not an Indian problem,” he added.Tendulkar refused Stokes’s justification that his offer to draw the match was to allow his pitch to rest before the final test.“… Why should England be fresh in the fifth test match?” Tendulkar asked.“Why should the (England) field be fresh? Do you have an answer? There is no answer.”“I’m absolutely with the Indian team. Whether it’s (Gautam) Gambhir or SHUBMAN (GILL) or Jadeja and Washington, they decided, (and I’m) with them 100 percent.”
