WATCH: Sanjana Ganesan conveys Sunil Gavaskar, Pujara's request to Jasprit Bumrah, she wants...
New Delhi: An interview of Jasprit Bumrah, who bowled brilliantly in the Leeds Test, is going viral on social media. This interview was also special because it was taken by none other than his wife and sports anchor Sanjana Ganesan. In this interview after the fourth day's play, Sanjana asked Bumrah many questions, but the most interesting moment came when she told Bumrah a special message from Sunil Gavaskar and Cheteshwar Pujara. Message from Gavaskar and Pujara, Bumrah's silent reply
During the conversation, Sanjana said, 'A request has come from above from Pujara and Sunil Gavaskar that please please please you play all five Tests.' Hearing this question, Bumrah smiled, but did not give any answer. He just said, 'We will talk about this later. Thank you.' After this, Bumrah left the field without saying anything.

— Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) June 23, 2025 Bumrah will play only three Tests
A five-Test series is going on between India and England, but according to reports, Jasprit Bumrah will play only three Tests. The management has made this strategy to keep him fit throughout the season. Bumrah had earlier played five consecutive Tests during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, and got injured in the last match, due to which he had to be out of the Champions Trophy. In such a situation, now it has been decided to play him in limited Tests. However, by taking five wickets in the first innings of the Leeds Test, he has definitely raised the question that how will the Indian bowling attack perform if he does not play in the remaining two Tests.

Only Ben Slater (96) scored more than the wicketkeeper-batter, who hit 12 fours and a six during his stint. The 26-year-old signed for Nottinghamshire on a short-term deal to play two matches, replacing South Africa's Kyle Verreynne. Kishan then took his place behind the wickets, following which he took a catch to remove opener Adam Lyth off Mohammad Abbas' bowling. Meanwhile, Jofra Archer picked up a wicket on his red-ball return while playing for Sussex against Durham. The 30-year-old pacer bowled 14 overs, recording six maidens and giving away 28 runs. He also contributed valuable runs with the bat, scoring three fours and a six en route to his 34-ball 31. Archer, who has not been a part of First-Class cricket in four years due to injuries, could be in contention for a return to England's Test side, which is currently facing India in a five-match Test series.
