‘He put 5 overs and …’, Irfan Pathan rages on Jaspreet Bumrah’s workload management
After the defeat of the Indian cricket team against England at Lord’s, Shubman Gill’s captaincy and many decisions have come under question. Twice in three matches, India lost the match despite being in good condition. On the other hand, England captain Ben Stokes scored 44 and 33 runs with the bat in this match. He did not lag behind even in bowling and he took 2 wickets for 63 runs in 20 overs in the first innings and 3 wickets for 48 runs in the second innings. He was adjudged Player of the Match for this effort.
Stokes bowled around 10 overs on the last day, which made every cricket fan crazy to him. At the same time, seeing Stokes, Indian fans also asked Team India questions that when Stokes can bowl continuously for their team when needed, why is Jasprit Bumrah repeatedly saved by giving excuses for workload management.
Irfan Pathan also questioned the workload management of Indian players. India’s fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will play only three Test matches in the five -match series under his workload management, which made the Irfan very angry and he said on his YouTube channel, “Ben Stokes said,” Ben Stokes threw a marathon sple of 9.2 overs on the fifth day. There is no talk of workload management. But in India we talk about workload management. “
Speaking further, Pathan said, “Jasprit Bumrah throws five overs and when you need control (in the second innings), they wait for the root to come for batting. When you are not playing, your workload management is still done. During the match, you can’t do the workload management. We can rectify you during the match. During this, he was playing the test match after four years.
