Team management frets over availability of Bumrah, bowling combination ahead of 5th tie
-
OON after the loss in the first Test at Leeds, India head coach Gautam Gambhir has affirmed that they will not change their plan to play Jasprit Bumrah in only three of the five matches of the series.
"We won't change it. For us, managing his workload is more important. There is a lot of cricket going forward," Gambhir had told journalists after the first Test.
More than a month later, with the series literally hanging in the balance and India needing to win the fifth match starting at The Oval on Thursday, Gambhir and Co have to take an important call - should Bumrah play or not? And there are reasons for both. It's not that India's pace attack becomes toothless in the absence of Bumrah.
They showed it during the second match in Edgbaston under Mohammed Siraj. The Hyderabad pacer and Akash Deep bowled in tandem in the match to scalp a five-for each and help India level the series 1-1. They didn't play with Bumrah at Lord's and made a remarkable comeback and drew the Manchester Test match through their 143-over batting over five sessions.

WHEN A CLEAN-UP BECOMES A MESS
A year ago, the idea of a massive nationwide exercise to visit every single household to verify, add, or delete voters was not on anyone’s radar. After all, the Narendra Modi government did not even conduct the mandatory dec-adal census. Chief Election Commi sioner Gyanesh Kumar took charge in February 2025 and, for three months, did not utter the term ‘special intensive revision’ (SIR). Suddenly, one day in June, the CEC announced a nationwide SIR beginning with Bihar. Why so suddenly and so hastily?
