Gill and Gambhir rotated Bumrah’s question like this … England’s legend also became adamant

New Delhi. Whether Jasprit Bumrah will play the next Test or not… Indian team management has started rotating this question again. Indian captain Shubman Gill said on this question that if Jasprit Bumrah is successful in playing the fifth Test, then it will be a big thing for the team. Bumrah had to play only three matches of the series under the workload management. Bumrah did not play in the second Test at Edgbaston. England are ahead 2–1 in the series after being a fourth Test match draw in Manchester. Now India will have to win the fifth Test to equalize the series. The fifth Test will be played at the Oval from 31 July.

Shubman Gill said in the BBC’s’ Test Match Special ‘program on the question of Bumrah’s play,’ If he feels that he is fully fit and available to us, then I think it will be a big thing for us. But even if they cannot play, we still have a good bowling attack. Bumrah bowled 33 overs in the fourth Test at Old Trafford. He has so far bowled 119.4 overs in five innings of three Test matches, which is about 24 overs per innings. He has taken 14 wickets so far and is on par with Mohammad Siraj.

Former England captain Alastair Cook believes that Gill took the right strategic decision by not disclosing whether Bumrah will play the fifth and final Test of the series. Cook said, ‘Even if he is not going to play, you will not tell people this right now. This is a strategic decision. He made a mistake at the beginning of the series saying that he would play only three matches. If they do not fit, then it will be the right decision not to play them.
