The former head coach of India Ravi Shastri praised Jasprit Bumhrah’s stellar performance, but expressed serious concerns about the lack of support for other Indian pacers in the 2nd. On the first test of the first test against England in Headingley.
At the end of the Saturday game, Shastri spoke to Sky Cricket at the end of the Saturday game and in the evaluation of the Indian bowling unit. He said that while Bumrah released a championship in bowling seam, a sharp contrast in the quality between him and the rest of the attack-shadul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj and Prazidh Krishna-are concerned.
“There is a big difference in levels. Bumrah is worried and what his workload will be, as the series proceeds, because he is the only man expected to choose the goals he mixes,” Shastri said. “I just hope someone at the other end raises their hands.”
Bumrah returned characters 3 for 48 at 13 breaks and claimed that all three English goals were falling on the day, while the remaining Pacers without success admitted a combined 154 runs.
ENG vs Indian. Test day 2 emphasizes
India began the day in a dominant position, with their dough brought from 324-2 to 430-3 overnight. But the sudden collapse noted that the last seven goal dropped to just 41 runs, which ended shifts to 471. England then returned to the competition, led by a courageous, undefeated century from Ollie Pope, closed the day at 209-3, ending with 262 runs.
Indian pitchs found little movement in Leeds, but Bumrah found the way again. The first hit the first and released Zak Crawley with non -vanable delivery. Later he removed the Ben Duckett set well before he re-captured Joe’s root-Dosud-applied the goal of the former Captain England for the tenth time in the test cricket.
Shastriho concerns exceed this match. The former coach emphasized the unsustainable pressure on Bumrah to perform magic after the spell, while his teammates try to create chances. With a long series ahead, Indian chances could depend on whether the rest of the attack finds a form.
“India would only hope that one of the other fast pitchors increases its standard and delivers for the team,” he concluded.
For the time being, Bumrah remains at the forefront. But if his colleagues Pacers don’t stand up on this occasion, India risks that he risks strong positions in this series of high stations.
