The Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah is all set to make a comeback on the cricket ground after almost 10 months and the Ireland tour will give a good idea about his fitness and form. Jasprit Bumrah will not only lead the pace attack of Indian bowling but he will also lead the team on the Ireland tour and Indian fans are really hopeful of seeing him perform well because the Indian team has missed him badly in the important tournaments and matches.
Mohammed Kaif, the former Indian cricketer talked about the prospects of Indian team in the upcoming ODI World Cup which will be played in India from 5 October and in Kaif’s opinion, Bumrah will play an important role in India’s campaign. When Md. Kaif was asked whether India is a strong side at home, he said, “It will depend on the players who are injured. Bumrah, I think, will be the key if he comes back fully fit. How fit is he we will get to know in Asia Cup. He is going to Ireland right now. So, I am going to see his bowling. If Bumrah is fully fit then India will be a strong side at home.”
Md. Kaif also talks about the fact that India hasn’t found a back-up for Jasprit Bumrah. In his words, “50-over is a different format. In Australia, it was a T20 format which we played but India play well against Pakistan. They always play well in ICC events, they have a good record against Pakistan. At the moment India is not looking the strongest on paper because they are missing the key players. We are missing KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant. The biggest factor is Bumrah. If he does not make a comeback then India will have to work harder. We still do not have Bumrah’s backup. If Bumrah does not play then we can lose. We will have problems before World Cup.”
Do you agree with Md. Kaif?
