Bumrah recently expressed his desire to become the captain of Team India, he says that fast bowlers like Kapil Dev and Imran Khan have performed well as captains and have also won the World Cup for their respective teams. Former Pakistan player Basit Ali has expressed his displeasure over Jasprit Bumrah’s statement. Basit Ali says that the veterans first established themselves as all-rounders and then became captains. Therefore, Bumrah should not have any interest in becoming a captain. Jasprit Bumrah should focus on bowling only- Basit Ali Former Pakistani player Basit Ali while talking on his YouTube channel said, Regarding Jasprit Bumrah’s statement, it is exactly like Babar Azam likes captaincy. In my opinion, he should not run after captaincy. He is a top-class bowler and he should focus on that only. He gave the example of Kapil Dev and Imran Khan’s captaincy. Although they became all-rounders, that is why they succeeded as captains. They were not appointed captains when they came to their teams as a bowler. This is the difference between a bowler and an all-rounder. Making a big prediction, Basit Ali further said that Bumrah can become the captain next year. There are very few fast bowlers who are good captains or coaches. My best wishes to Bumrah. Maybe he will become the captain after the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Jasprit Bumrah captained Team India in the absence of Rohit Sharma in the Edgbaston Test against England in 2022. At the same time, he also led the team in the T20 series of the Ireland tour in 2023.

Whereas India’s Neeraj Chopra had to settle for the silver medal with a distance of 89.45 meters. Arshad has become the first athlete for Pakistan to win any award and medal in track and field in Olympics after 28 years. Basit Ali gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently while comparing Arshad Nadeem and Babar Azam, Basit Ali said in an interview to Cricket Pakistan- Cricket is a different game, but the work that Arshad Nadeem has done for this country and the fame he has achieved, it will take many years for Babar Azam to achieve that because Babar plays a team game. He does not play any individual game, Arshad plays individually. He has won the gold medal alone. Basit further said- If the Pakistan cricket team goes to the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028 and wins the gold medal there, then we can compare. But at this time Babar cannot be compared to Arshad Nadeem. Arshad is the hero of Pakistan at this time. A look at Babar Azam’s cricket career It is worth noting that after the arrival of Babar Azam in the Pakistan cricket team, which is famous for its fast bowlers, the definition of batting has changed.

In the match for Sri Lanka, spinners Dunith Vellalage and Charith Aslanka together took 9 wickets. On the other hand, after the defeat of the Indian cricket team in the match, a big statement has come from former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali. Basit says that after Pakistan, India has also forgotten how to face spinners. Basil Ali gave a big statement on India’s defeat Let us tell you that after the second ODI match between Sri Lanka and India in Colombo, Basit Ali said through a recent video uploaded on his YouTube channel – I think after Pakistan, India has also forgotten how to bat against spinners. Maybe because their focus was more on T20. I am sad to see Shivam Dubey getting out. He could not even read it from his hand. In the first match, Washington Sundar was also out in the same manner. Basit further said- Keep Shivam Dubey only for T20, do not select him for ODI cricket. If he is selected, then first play him in 50 over matches in domestic cricket. India’s ODI team cannot be complete without Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja.
