Indian test team
Shubman Gill has been given the responsibility of captaincy in the Indian Test team for the tour of England and vice -captain wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has been made. Apart from Gill, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was also a strong contender for captaincy. But in the end Gill won. In the absence of Rohit on the tour of Australia, Bumrah captained when he played all the five Test matches and he was also injured in the last Test match. Now Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar has given a big statement on his fitness.
Bumrah’s fitness concern: Agarkar
Ajit Agarkar, the chief selector of the Indian team, admitted that the availability for the entire series of star fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah is a matter of concern. Agarkar said that as far as physio and doctors have told us, I do not think they will be available for all five Tests. Whether it is four or three (tests), we will see how the series goes and how his body takes the workload. Needless to say how important he is. So even if he is fit for three or four Tests, he will win us in some Test matches. I am happy that he is part of the team. It is clear from Agarkar’s statement that he will not play in the five Tests on the tour of England.
Great performance against Australia
Jasprit Bumrah has been doing very well for the Indian team for some time on foreign tours and a lot of runs are being scored from his bat. In the Test series against Australia, he took a total of 32 wickets in 5 matches and won Team India in the first Test match under his captaincy.
More than 200 Test wickets have been achieved for India
Jaspreet Bumrah has no match for the yorker ball. If he is in his rhythm, he changes the attitude of the match in a few balls. He made his Test debut for the Indian team in the year 2018. Since then, a total of 205 wickets have been taken in 45 Tests.
