Jasprit Bumrah’s leave cancelled, will play against Netherlands
New Delhi. There is an old saying that even the burnt buttermilk of milk is drunk with gusto, hence the Indian team management is also in no mood to do any experiment before Super 8. In the match against Pakistan on Sunday, Bumrah took important wickets of Saim Ayub and captain Salman Ali Aga due to which Pakistan had to face defeat by 61 runs. There are different opinions about Bumrah, some people want to see him play every match while some people believe that he should play all the matches of Super 8.
Praising wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan, he said, he is full of confidence since his early days, which helps in T20 cricket. Since the start of the World Cup, we have seen that any team can defeat any team and that is why every match is important.
Bumrah has no rest
The Indian team has reached the Super Eight of the T20 World Cup, but batting coach Sitanshu Kotak said on Tuesday that fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will not be rested in the last match of Group A against Netherlands. BCCI’s sports science team is managing Bumrah’s workload with caution and he is given rest from time to time. However, Kotak said in the press conference before the match, I do not think that Bumrah will be given rest and will take a decision about it later.
Coach is not worried about Abhishek
Regarding Abhishek Sharma’s fitness, he replied positively. Abhishek could not play against Namibia due to stomach infection but was out for zero against Pakistan. Kotak said, he was not well and in the last match he was out in the first over. Now we don’t want to analyze too much and that’s okay. Abhishek has not been able to open his account yet in this World Cup and he must be hoping that he plays a big innings against Netherlands.
