Ravi Shastri on Indian Bowling: Indian batsmen performed brilliantly in the first Test match being played between England and India in Leeds. Everyone hoped that the bowlers would also show the game in the same manner, but it did not seem to happen yet. Except for Jasprit Bumrah, the rest of the bowlers have not been able to show much effect. England’s 3 wickets have fallen so far and all three wickets have been taken by Bumrah. Meanwhile, former head coach Ravi Shastri has given a big statement regarding the bowling of Team India.
Bumrah shines, the rest of the bowlers disappointed – Shastri
After the end of the second day of the Leeds Test, former coach Ravi Shastri spoke openly on the performance of the Indian bowlers. He said that while Jasprit Bumrah bowled brilliantly, the performance of Shardul Thakur, Mohammad Siraj and the famous Krishna was weaker than expected, which is a matter of concern. Bumrah performed brilliantly and first dismissed Jack Croly, then bowled Ben Docket and broke her partnership with Oli Pope. He also took the wicket of Joe Root before the day’s play was over. So far, Bumrah has taken 3 wickets for 48 runs in 13 overs.
Shastri’s statement on Bumrah
Ravi Shastri said, “Bumrah’s bowling level is quite high. But the worry is that he does not get much weight. As the series progresses, his workload will also increase, so it is important that the rest of the bowlers also support him.”
Bumrah needs the team
Shastri further said that if the performance of any other fast bowler is better, then India will benefit not only in this match but in the entire series. At present, England have scored 209 for 3 wickets till the end of the second day’s play. Now India would like to return to the match by dismissing England early on the third day.
