India won the T20 World Cup last year, and the player of the tournament was the lucky Jasprit Bumrah. Despite bowling brilliantly, India’s spin-bowling troika has occasionally eclipsed him in the current Asia Cup.
Jasprit Bumrah has taken five wickets at an average of 22 in four games thus far in the Asia Cup. Jasprit Bumrah has been excellent, with the exception of the Super Four match against Pakistan, where he gave up 45 runs in four overs without taking a wicket.
Fans are more worried about his fitness, though, particularly after he chose to reduce his workload by playing just three of the five Test matches against England in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
On Thursday, September 25, former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif tweeted that Rohit Sharma had used Bumrah at several points during the innings. Bumrah did not bowl consecutive overs while Rohit was captain, according to Kaif. The Gujarat seamer only bowls when his body is warmed up these days, according to the cricket player-turned-expert, since he doesn’t want to get hurt.
The Men in Blue may suffer against more formidable teams in the T20 World Cup next year if they employ the tactic of using three Bumrah overs during the powerplay and holding onto just one for the final overs, according to Kaif.
Under Rohit, Jasprit Bumrah would typically bowl overs 1, 13, 17, and 19. He began the Asia Cup by bowling three overs under Surya. These days, Jasprit Bumrah vprefers to bowl when his body is warmed up in order to prevent injuries. “Jasprit Bumrah one over in the final 14 overs is a huge relief for batters, but this could hurt India against stronger teams at the World Cup,” Kaif wrote on ‘X’.
“Inaccurate before inaccurate again” is how Jasprit Bumrah responded to this tweet a few hours later.
Inaccurate before inaccurate again 👍🏾 https://t.co/knkjXOGOKb

For Friday, September 26’s meaningless match between India and Sri Lanka, Bumrah is anticipated to be rested. He will be crucial in Sunday’s final against the victor of Pakistan and Bangladesh’s virtual semi-final match, which is played on Thursday.
