India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has said that Bumrah is a great fast bowler and he has to be used carefully. Gambhir had said that anyone would want Bumrah in their team. You want him to play important matches but workload management is important. Let us tell you that due to the kind of bowling action Bumrah has, there is a high possibility of him getting injured. Now it will be interesting to see how much truth there is in these reports. Let us tell you that India has to play two Test matches against Bangladesh, which is going to start from 19 September.

“I am not defending Virat, but…” – DK said about Kohli’s poor form in the Sri Lanka series
After a brilliant performance in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, Virat Kohli took a short break and then joined the Indian team for the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. In the recent three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, Kohli did not look in his best form. He could not score a single half-century in this series. The most strange thing was that he was out LBW in all three matches. After tying the first ODI, Sri Lanka managed to register stunning wins against India in the second and third ODIs by 32 and 110 runs respectively. Virat Kohli’s performance in the Sri Lanka series immediately made headlines. This was the first time that Virat was out LBW in three consecutive matches of a series and all three times he lost his wicket to spinners. Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement about Virat Kohli Virat was heavily criticized for his poor performance. People are constantly talking about his struggle against spinners. Amid the criticism, former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik backed Virat and said that batting in Sri Lanka is very tough. He said that he was not trying to defend Kohli in any way, but the conditions in Sri Lanka can be very harsh for a batsman at times. Dinesh Karthik was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz, “It has been a tough pitch to play spin on in this series, let’s admit that first. Be it Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, or anyone else. With a little bit of semi new ball between about 8 to 30 overs, it has been a tough job. There is nothing to worry about. Not too many pitches work like this, but it was a tough pitch for spinners to play. I am not going to defend Virat Kohli here, but I can tell you that it was very tough to play spin.”

We had never won a series in South Africa and this was a big opportunity for all of us. There were some senior players who were not available.’ India lost 2-1 against South Africa Rahul Dravid further said, ‘Rohit Sharma was injured and some senior players were not in that series. We were very close in both the Tests. We had a great opportunity in the third innings of both these Tests because we had scored a very good score and could have won the match. However, South Africa played very well. They chased the target in the fourth innings and we lost the match. This was the lowest point of my career. I felt bad that we were ahead in this series but still could not win it.’ South Africa won the three-match Test series 2-1.
