Προς το παρόν, ο Jasprit Bumrah περιλαμβάνεται στους πρωταθλητές Trophy Squad, καθώς η τελευταία κλήση της ένταξής του θα υιοθετηθεί στις 11 Φεβρουαρίου.
Team India has been absolutely clinical when it comes to the IND vs ENG series. The entire squad seems to be falling in place where batters and bowlers have shone alike. But it all, there is a concern about the way Mohammed Shami has bowled, and also around Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness. Ex-India cricketer Aakash Chopra isn’t much chuffed about the fast-bowling scenario — with even Harshit Rana in the loop.
Mohammed Shami Mediocre, India Need Champions Trophy
Shami picked up only one wicket in the first match, and in the second was expensive with figures of 1/66. There is a significant drop in his pace as well, where he is bowling in early 130s. “Mohammed Shami has still not hit top gear after his comeback. He has suffered a drop in pace,” Chopra pointed out, speaking on his YouTube channel.
“The thing about pace is it works differently for different bowlers. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is an outstanding bowler at 132 kmph. But if Mohammed Shami delivers at 132 kmph, he is not the same bowler,” Chopra said. “At that speed, he looks a little below his best, especially his penetration. He bowls best at 137-138 kmph,” Chopra said. The former opener went on to subtly criticise Harshit Rana.
BCCI to Take Call on Feb 11
“The problem with Harshit Rana is that he is expensive. His lack of experience is clear as day,” Chopra said. “The pitch at Cuttack required you to bowl good length, at the stumps, but he wasn’t able to do so. He was bowling short and further away from the stumps. He had to be taken off by the captain after three overs. But the good thing with him is that bowls well with the older ball with his hit-the-deck style,” Chopra stated.
In short, Chopra just gave his verdict on India, if Jasprit Bumrah didn’t make it to the team. “If Bumrah does not recover in time, then India probably have the weakest fast bowling lineup among all teams in their Champions Trophy group,” Chopra stated.
