Chetan Sharma praised the Indian bowling’s ability to pick up 20 wickets in a Test match on a regular basis. Jasprit Bumrah was India’s top Test bowler, picking up 48 wickets in 9 matches at an average of 21.02 before injury saw him play only 3 Test matches the following year.
“If you decided to rest Jasprit Bumrah, there was a replacement” - Sharma on India’s bench strength
Chetan Sharma also kept aside some special praise for the BCCI for developing incredible bench strength at the international level. He believes that the current Indian team have good enough players to replace the likes of even Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah.
The former India pacer further went on to say that India’s ability to pick up 20 wickets in a Test match will be crucial to making the finals of the World Test Championship next year. While fitness has been a problem in the last year, Jasprit Bumrah has picked up 19 wickets in the tournament in just 4 Test matches.
While other bowlers have played a greater role in India’s exploits in the World Test Championship so far, Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness will be crucial if the team is to make it to the final of the tournament.
