'Held back when team needed more': Former India pacer questions Jasprit Bumrah's impact in drawn England series
India captain Shubman Gill with pacer Jasprit Bumrah. NEW DELHI: India's hard-fought 2-2 series draw against England in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy produced numerous standout performances, but not everyone lived up to the billing. Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan expressed disappointment in Jasprit Bumrah 's performance, despite the pacer finishing as one of the top wicket-takers in the series. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Bumrah featured in only three of the five Tests due to workload management. While he returned with 14 wickets at an average of 26.00 — including two five-wicket hauls — Pathan felt Bumrah lacked the killer instinct in crucial moments. Poll How would you rate Jasprit Bumrah's performance in the recent series against England? Outstanding Good Average Below Expectations 'Bumrah will get six out of ten,' Pathan said on his YouTube channel. 'When you're a senior player, there is a lot of responsibility to win matches. He played three Tests, and India didn't win any of them.' Citing specific examples, Pathan pointed to the series opener where Bumrah took five wickets in the first innings but failed to pick up a single in the second while defending a sizeable total of 370. Inside The Oval: An Exclusive Tour of the Stadium Where India Played the Final Test 'At that crucial time, your main match-winner has to find a way — over the wicket, around the wicket, yorkers, slower balls, bouncers — anything to create pressure. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo That didn't happen. In the Leeds Test, we did not see that pressure being built. England ended up scoring heavily, and Bumrah did not take a single wicket,' he added. The former pacer also noted Bumrah's reluctance to stretch spells when India needed breakthroughs. 'There were moments, like when a sixth over was needed. Joe Root had been dismissed by him 11 times, and in that Lord's Test, Bumrah bowled just five overs. That one more over could've pushed harder. I felt he held back.' While acknowledging Bumrah's name going up on the Lord's honours board, Pathan stressed that the world's top-ranked Test bowler is held to a higher standard. 'He took a five-wicket haul and got his name on the Lord's honours board. But when you are the number one bowler, there is an expectation of number one-level performance, and I felt he did not quite live up to that.'

Tejasswi Prakash open to going bald for a role: ‘People lately have been finding a way around it'
Actor Tejasswi Prakash is known for her long locks. However, the actor reveals she would be more than willing to shave her head for a role. Tejasswi shares that no one has approached her with such a request, as filmmakers have found creative workarounds rather than opting for an actual bald look. Tejasswi Prakash rose to fame with Swaragini – Jodein Rishton Ke Sur and Naagin 6. (Instagram) Tejasswi Prakash on going bald When we asked her if she would be open to going bald, Tejasswi said, 'I would do it.' 'I would go bald for a character if it requires. I'm very committed like that most of the time. I feel people lately have been finding a way around it… Like I'm doing something which is about transformation. But everyone in the industry has gone ahead and found so many more options for anything and everything, from making your hair colour look a certain way or making you look bald or making you look blonde. There are so many other solutions that nobody's really asked me to do it actually. But if ever I am asked, I would do it,' adds the actor, who rose to fame with her show Swaragini – Jodein Rishton Ke Sur. The actor is known for starring in shows such as Naagin 6, Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 10, Bigg Boss 15 and Celebrity MasterChef. With the transformation, Tejasswi was referring to her journey of losing some weight for her next project. On her haircare When it comes to Tejasswi's haircare routine, it is pretty basic, crediting the way she was brought up by her mom. She swears by 'champi' – a scalp massage. 'My hair care routine is pretty basic. Like how my mom brought me up, which includes champi. Lately, I have added quite a few steps to my hair care. Now, it is about doing like a proper hair wash and using a good hairmask for some 5-10 minutes and then applying a good serum,' shares the actor, adds the actor, who recently walked the ramp in Delhi as part of the hair show by Godrej Professional while unveiling The Surreal Collection. Like any other, Tejasswi isn't immune to bad hair days, but she's mastered the art of transforming them into another look with her styling skills. 'I do have bad hair days, mostly because I have straight hair. My bad hair days aren't about my hair being frizzy. It is when my hair is really flat with zero volume. In fact, my hair somehow gets oily after just one or two days of washing. Those for me are my bad hair days. And at that time, I just did a sleek hairstyle such as ponytail,' she ends.
