You Would Want The World's Best Bowler 'Bumrah' To Play Crucial Fourth Test, Says Dasgupta
New Delhi: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Deep Dasgupta believes India would greatly benefit from the inclusion of world-class fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah for the fourth Test against England in Manchester, citing the long gap between matches.
Ahead of the Test series in England, chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir had announced that Bumrah will only play three of the five games in the series in order to manage his workload. That policy has meant that Bumrah played in Tests at Headingley and Lord’s, while being rested from the Edgbaston game.
“Jasprit Bumrah in the fourth Test, absolutely yes. I've heard rumours that the plan for him was to play in the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Tests. But since India is 2-1 behind, the fourth Test becomes very, very crucial for a comeback. You would definitely want the world's best bowler to play,” said Dasgupta on JioHotstar.
