Jasprit Bumrah Can Retire from Tests: On the third day of the fourth Test being played at Old Trafford, Manchester, England took 544/7 runs in the first innings and took a lead of 186 runs over India. The Indian bowlers continued to yearn for the wicket on the third day, but the English team did not give him much opportunities. Even bowlers like Jaspreet Bumrah showed craving for the wicket.
The English batsman was playing Bumrah easily and was surprised to see Bumrah’s bowling when it was seen on the speed of the ball. On the third day, Bumrah was seen struggling a lot and was able to bowl at a speed of 125-130. Everyone was surprised to see him bowling at such a low speed and former cricketer Mohammad Kaif even said that Bumrah’s body is not supporting him and he can retire from Test cricket soon.
Kaif shared a video from his official Instagram account in which he said, “I think Jaspreet Bumrah will not be seen playing Test cricket in the coming time. He is struggling with his body and maybe he can retire from Test cricket. He has not shown his pace in this match. He is very self -sufficient, if he is not able to convince you May I think that I get wickets or not, but the ball that was 125-130 is the ball that the wicket was caught by a dive.

If we talk about the third day of Manchester Test, then this day was challenging for India. Joe Root (150) has shared 144 runs with Oli Pope (71) and 142 runs with captain Ben Stokes (77*) to bring England to a strong position.
By the end of the day’s play, Stokes (77*) and Liam Dawson (21*) are standing at the crease, so now only two results seem possible from here, either England will win this match or this match can be a draw.
