IND vs SA: Is Jasprit Bumrah’s return in haste, this mistake can cost Team India
Team India’s star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah did not play in the first T20 against South Africa. BCCI tweeted that Bumrah had complained of back pain during the practice session on Tuesday.
Team India suffered a major setback before the first T20 match against South Africa. Star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the Thiruvananthapuram T20 match due to back pain. The right-arm fast bowler did not play in the 2022 Asia Cup due to a back injury. He made a comeback in the T20 series against Australia. However, in the first match, he did not play due to not being completely fit. Played in the second and third matches.
Bumrah’s fitness is a matter of great concern for India in the wake of the T20 World Cup in Australia. The biggest reason for this is poor bowling in the death overs. After being ruled out of the first match against Africa, the question is now arising whether his return was hasty. In the Asia Cup, the performance of other bowlers including Bhuvneshwar Kumar was very poor. In such a situation, under pressure, the Indian team management did not choose Jaspreet.
Could prove to be a huge mistake for Team India
If the Indian team management has done this, then it can prove to be a huge mistake for Team India before a big tournament like T20 World Cup. Jasprit Bumrah can prove to be very effective on pitches like Australia, in such a situation, his absence in any match can become the reason for the team’s defeat. He bowled brilliantly in the second T20 against Australia. Aaron Finch was bowled on a brilliant yorker. He proved costly in the third match. He did not take any wicket for 50 runs in 4 overs.
Deepak Chahar and Arshdeep’s havoc
Talking about the first T20 against South Africa, Rishabh Pant, Ravichandran Ashwin Arshdeep Singh and Deepak Chahar got a chance in the playing 11. Arshdeep and Chahar bowled brilliantly to push the visiting team on the back foot in the powerplay. Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bowl first. Deepak Chahar gave a big blow to South Africa by dismissing Temba Bavuma in the very first over. Arshdeep took 3 wickets in the second over. Deepak Chahar took another wicket in the very next over. Half the Proteas team returned to the pavilion on the score of 9 runs in 15 balls. In the powerplay, the team could score only 30 runs and lost 5 wickets.
