India captain Rohit Sharma defended Jasprit Bumrah, saying it was a message for the entire team. Rohit Sharma spoke in clear terms after the second Test match at the Adelaide Oval, where questions were raised about Bumrah’s bowling.
“It’s Just Not About One or Individual Two” , Clear message from Rohit
Bumrah’s magical performance in the first Test at Perth was no secret. Bumrah, who led the team to a 295-run win with eight wickets, also had high expectations in Adelaide. But when they were used sparingly, people started raising questions.
On this, Rohit Sharma said: “It’s Just Not About One or Individual Two people’s game.”
What Rohit Sharma said was a message not just for Bumrah, but for the entire team. “Every player has a role to play in Test cricket. It is not right to put the entire burden on a top bowler like Bumrah. Cricket is a team game where every player has to play his part.
Rohit Sharma also opened up on Bumrah’s workload management. He said that he regularly talks to Bumrah and takes care of his fitness. “I constantly talk to him during his spells,” Rohit said, adding, “Our plan is to have Bumrah play all five Test matches.”
“When he was asked, do you know how difficult it is to expect Bumrah to bowl consistently from both ends?
On this, Rohit Sharma clearly said – “You cannot make Bumrah bowl from both ends from morning to evening.” This is an important part of their strategy, in which the fitness and performance of every player is kept in mind.
Giving opportunities to young talent is also an important part of Rohit Sharma’s strategy. By giving youngsters like Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy a chance in the field, they are boosting their confidence. “When young players get a chance, they should feel confident,” Rohit said.
These statements by Rohit Sharma have not only supported Bumrah but have sent a clear message to the entire team. Cricket is not just a game but a team spirit where every player plays an important role.
