New Delhi. There is a very old saying that no one gets anything before time and more than luck. The plate that comes out will take someone else from you and you will keep staring at your face. This is the story of the biggest match winner of the Indian team and the world’s number one bowler. Jasprit Bumrah, who was the vice -captain of the Indian team for years, is now being rejected from the end.
Jaspreet Bumrah was at the forefront of the Indian team’s captaincy race, but in Sydney, he slowly went backwards after the unfortunate morning of January 4. The captaincy role was only for him but a few months ago he left the Sydney Cricket Ground for a scan of a back. In the absence of Bumrah, there was a slight hope of India’s victory in the final Test against Australia but this injury also shocked his possibilities of India’s long -term Test captain.
How did Bumrah lagged behind in the captaincy race?
Bumrah is now 31 years old and has come in a situation where the permanent captaincy of the Indian team may have a distant dream and it will be difficult for him to play five consecutive Tests based on the opinion of experts. Talking about Bumrah, the selectors had very easy leadership but their concern is also understood. What happens in a situation of breakdown. Injuries on the field cannot be controlled but stress fractures (backs), side strain, knee and hamstring problems that fast bowlers are part of all fitness related problems.
Bumrah was out for three months due to an injury of one morning of January in Sydney. Earlier, he stayed out of the game for 11 months due to a breakdown on the ground just before the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia in 2022. If Bumrah has not been made the captain, then this pair of Gambhir-Gil and this fast bowler of Gujarat will also have the responsibility of taking the team in the right direction. Bumrah does not need much technical help because like Ravichandran Ashwin, this bowler is also very confident about his art.
Sanjay Manjrekar revealed
Former Indian Test player Sanjay Manjrekar wrote on his official ‘X’ handle, I am surprised that we are considering any other option other than Bumrah as a Test captain. If worried about their injuries, then choose your vice-captain carefully. The presence of head coach Gautam Gambhir, who reached Mumbai to worship at the Siddhivinayak temple, gave the rumors that Shubman Gill is still not ready for the role of leadership. After a long meeting of the new captain in Delhi with the head coach a few days ago, there is little possibility of the selectors or Gambhir to withdraw from their stance. But there were rumors that influential people who run Indian cricket are not happy with Gill’s sudden promotion, but it would be completely foolish that these powerful people were not taken into confidence before the Punjab batsman was selected as the next Test captain.
