Shubman gill on bumrah avilability in 2nd test: India lost the first match of the five-match Test series between India and England by 5 wickets to England. After this defeat, Team India lags behind 0–1. Jasprit Bumrah, who took a fiffer in England’s first innings, returned empty handed in the last innings. But when he was not allowed to bowl with the new ball, there was a discussion about his fitness.

Now Indian Test captain Shubman Gill has given a big statement about Jaspreet Bumrah. Captain Gill has told the truth behind it after losing the Test.

Because of this Bumrah was not given bowling

Let us tell you that when the new ball came immediately after the 80th over, it was expected about the return of Jasprit Bumrah from here, but captain Shubman Gill handed over the ball to Siraj instead of Bumrah. At the same time, he retained experienced all -rounder Ravindra Jadeja at the other end. Since then, questions started to arise about Jaspreet Bumrah’s fitness.

Now after the match on this whole matter, captain Gill spoke to the BBC and said, “Jasprit Bumrah is fully fit. There is nothing like injury to him. We had 15 to 20 runs left, so we wanted to give a chance to another bowler, but Bumrah is fully fit.” On the last day of the Leeds Test, Jasprit Bumrah was also seen to have a shoulder massage but now Shubman Gill’s statement is decided that Bumrah is fit.

Second is suspense about playing test

Bumrah, who took 5 wickets in the first innings of the first Test, is suspense to play in the second Test. Captain Gill himself also told that this is definitely a match -durtling match. We have got a good break after the first Test. First of all we will go to Birmingham and see wickets. Only then will it be decided whether Bumrah will play in that match or not.

Let us tell you that Bumrah suffered a back injury during the Sydney Test earlier this year, due to which he had to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is the reason why management is taking full care of their fitness.
