Nagpur question: How (and who) will India replace Jasprit Bumrah?
Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness is a major concern for Indian cricket fans ahead of the Champions Trophy. Just like Sachin Tendulkar in the past, Bumrah’s presence on the field significantly impacts the nation’s mood. A single spell can ignite joy, while a rare off-day can lead to despair. Now, with the Champions Trophy looming, the question on everyone’s mind is: Will Bumrah be fit to play?
The current situation evokes memories of Tendulkar’s injury-plagued late 90s. India’s performance is often intertwined with Bumrah’s brilliance. From the 2024 World T20 final to the 2023 ODI World Cup (where India’s only loss came on his off-day in the final against Australia) and crucial Test victories in England, Australia, and South Africa, Bumrah’s impact is undeniable.
India will undoubtedly miss Bumrah if he’s unable to participate. It’s not just about the wickets he takes, but the fear he instills in opposing batsmen and the inspiration he provides to his teammates. As Virat Kohli emphasized at a felicitation event, Bumrah is the player who consistently brings India back into crucial matches. His absence would be a significant blow to India’s chances in the Champions Trophy. (READ MORE)
