Supporters might miss the opportunity to watch Jasprit Bumrah play in the fourth Test Match in Ranchi. After gaining a 2-1 advantage against England in the ongoing five-match series with the first three Tests, it is anticipated that Team India will give Jasprit Bumrah, the vice-captain and leading bowler, some time off. Bumrah, who returned to cricket after recovering from a back injury that kept him out for 11 months starting last August, has been carefully monitored by the Indian cricket team.
Since his return, Bumrah has been included only in the Test matches for India, participating in the series against South Africa in December–January and the present series against England.
Considering the forthcoming IPL and T20 World Cup, the decision has been made to rest Bumrah for the upcoming Ranchi Test, despite initial plans to rest him for the Rajkot Test. He is set to take a nearly twenty-day break before making a comeback for the series finale in Dharamsala, which kicks off on March 7. Throughout the series, Bumrah has delivered over 80 overs, including spells of 8.3, 16.1, 15.5, 17.2, 15, and 8 across six innings.
Jasprit Bumrah Set To Miss Fourth Test In Ranchi
Depending on the pitch conditions, which might favor spinners, Bumrah could be replaced by Mukesh Kumar or an additional spinner. Mukesh, who was left out of the squad for the third Test, recently took ten wickets in a Ranji Trophy match for Bengal against Bihar, showcasing his form with a four-wicket and a six-wicket haul in the first and second innings, respectively.
Additionally, Mohammed Siraj, who has been a regular feature for India in recent times, was given a break during the second Test.
