In Monday’s practice, Akash Deep spent a considerable amount of time with the ball before batting for almost fifteen minutes, while the right-arm pacer didn’t bowl with as much vigour. According to rumours, Bumrah will probably be rested for the second Test, which starts at Edgbaston, Birmingham, on Wednesday, July 2.
The only bowler from India who appeared dangerous during the first Test match against England in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy was Jasprit Bumrah. He finished with figures of 5/83, making the ball talk at Headingley, particularly in the first innings. Head coach Gautam Gambhir announced ahead of the series that Bumrah would only play three Test matches because the team management would be closely monitoring his workload.
Deep might be the best option to take Bumrah’s spot in the Edgbaston Test, according to Irfan Pathan.
The former all-rounder for India compared Akash Deep skill set to that of Mohammed Shami, a teammate from Bengal.
“Who should enter the side in Bumrah’s stead if he is not present? Based on what has been observed on the nets, Akash Deep appears to be finding his rhythm. In a video that Irfan posted to his YouTube channel, he stated, “I think he is the Shami mould kind of bowler.”
The England batsmen may have trouble with Deep’s straight seam deliveries, according to Pathan. Arshdeep Singh may be utilised later in the series, but Deep should try to beat the England hitters first, according to the cricketer-turned-expert.
The England hitters may find his straight seam deliveries problematic, particularly when it comes to late movement. This could be an issue if you are acting aggressively. We’ll visit Arshdeep, but if Bumrah isn’t playing, I believe Akash Deep need to take his position,” he continued.
Without Jasprit, do you think we can go 1-1 or maintain the score at 1-0? Ryan Ten Doeschate,
Ryan ten Doeschate, India’s assistant coach, told reporters at a press conference on Monday that he believes his squad can succeed even if Bumrah is forced to sit out.
It is, but we also believe that without Jasprit, we can win 1-1 or maintain a 1-0 lead. Once more, that means placing the eggs at the conclusion of the sequence. At some point, we will also need him. Ten Doeschate stated, “You must choose when to use your strongest suit.”
