Dinesh Karthik Worried For Jasprit Bumrah: 'Others Need To Push Gill And...'
Last Updated:
Dinesh Karthik is concerned about India's over-reliance on Jasprit Bumrah and the impact it could have on his body.
Dinesh Karthik is worried about India's overreliance on Jasprit Bumrah and the impact it can have on the fast-bowler's fitness. The former wicketkeeper-batter felt that the 'void' between Bumrah and the rest of the bowling attack was 'too much' on the second day of the Headingley Test in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, adding that it was high time that other bowlers 'pushed' skipper Shubman Gill and took the initiative.
Just like several days on the tour of Australia last year, Bumrah was India's only wicket-taker on Sunday. He got three scalps for 48 runs in 13 overs as Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Ravindra Jadeja, and Shardul Thakur all went wicketless in the remaining 36. Ollie Pope scored a century and Ben Duckett hit 62 as England finished the day at a good position of 209/3 with India's lead at 262 runs.
'In a day where there are hardly 60 overs bowled, Bumrah has already bowled 13. Every time you need a wicket, it has to be Bumrah. And he always does it for you so you get into that habit. Others need to find a way to definitely push the captain and say, 'I am ready, give me the ball, this is my plan, I want to do this'," Karthik added.
Bumrah's troubles were compounded by two dropped catches and Harry Brook's wicket off a no-ball in the last over of the day.

KL Rahul, Shubman Gill Take India To 90/2 At Stumps On Day 3, Lead By 96 Runs
At stumps, India reached 90/2 with Rahul and Gill at the crease. Brydon Carse dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal with a seaming ball, while Ben Stokes removed debutant Sai Sudharsan for the second time in the match, with Zak Crawley catching the latter's flick at mid-wicket. Rahul was a delight to watch, with most of his seven fours coming through cover drives off the pacers. He appeared comfortable despite the overcast conditions. Play was halted by rain at Headingley, with India leading by 96 runs. In an extended afternoon session, Harry Brook was unlucky to be dismissed on 99 before Bumrah completed a well-deserved five-for, giving India a slender six-run first-innings lead. Before Bumrah bowled Josh Tongue to end England's innings, Chris Woakes (38 off 55) took advantage of a predictable Indian pace attack to bring his side close to India's total of 471. England continued to find fours with ease, scoring 138 runs in 23.4 overs in the afternoon session with the loss of five wickets. Prasidh Krishna dismissed Jamie Smith (40 off 52) and Brook (99 off 112) with short balls but conceded too many runs, giving away 128 runs in 20 overs. Bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur was underused again, raising questions about his selection. Bumrah, the standout Indian bowler, picked up his 14th five-wicket haul in the longest format. India's fielding has been their weakest link so far in the match. Brook, having been given two opportunities, was dropped again on 82 by Jaiswal off Bumrah. Brook could not capitalise on these opportunities and was dismissed for 99 in the 88th over. India took the new ball after 80 overs but failed to use it. Skipper Shubman Gill made questionable decisions, such as introducing Ravindra Jadeja towards the end of the session and bringing Bumrah back for a late burst. In the morning session, Brook attacked an inconsistent Indian pace attack, taking England to 327/5 at lunch. Resuming at 209/3 overnight, Brook ensured England scored quickly, adding 118 runs in 28 overs. The visitors took two key wickets of overnight centurion Ollie Pope (106 off 137) and England skipper Stokes (20 off 52). Like on day two, the other Indian pacers couldn't match Bumrah's accuracy. Brook, dismissed off a Bumrah no-ball at the end of day two, was dropped by wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant on 46 shortly before lunch. Jadeja extracted sharp turn from the rough, but Pant couldn't hold on to the rising ball. In the same over, Brook completed his 12th Test fifty, adding to the frustration of the Indians, who have been poor with their catching throughout the match. Advertisement Led by Gill, the Indians were vocal about their issues with a worn-out Dukes ball during the session. The umpires relented before the 75th over, with the new ball due after 80 overs. The session belonged to Brook, who displayed audacious strokeplay from the start. Krishna bowled two loose deliveries in the first over of the day, which Brook dispatched for a boundary through point and a six over mid-wicket.

Headingley Test: From Tendulkar & Co. to Bumrah & Co.? India's '90s vibe returns
Sachin Tendulkar and Jasprit Bumrah in Leeds: Ball in his right hand and sweater resting on his left, Jasprit Bumrah had his eyes locked on the giant screen, which was showing the replay of his fifth wicket. No bowler wants to miss the opportunity of seeing the ball crashing into the woodwork, and Bumrah admired the dismissal before acknowledging the standing ovation from a jam-packed Headingley. A gentle raise of the ball and the Indian spearhead walked into the dressing room after completing his 14th five-wicket haul in Tests. For 24.4 overs, Bumrah fought a lonely battle at Headingley. His fellow bowlers let him down, fielders let him down, but he kept picking himself up ball after ball, over after over. He would bury his face in his cap when a catch was dropped off his bowling and found it hard to even open his eyes after it happened again, but he maintained composure, stuck to the job, kept running in hard, and finished with a magnificent fifer. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! He would create pressure only to see a Prasidh Krishna or Mohammed Siraj bowl looseners from the other end. England kept ticking along because they knew there was only one Bumrah in the Indian XI, and he could only do so much. The state of current Indian bowling can draw parallels with Indian batting of the '90s — a one-man show. If it was Sachin Tendulkar versus the opposition, it is Bumrah versus the opposition now. Krishna picked three and Siraj scalped two, but together they conceded 250 runs in 47 overs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo More than the runs conceded, it was the way they sprayed the ball over the place during crucial junctures of the game. Yes, Siraj looked good when the ball lost its lacquer on Day 2 but looked completely clueless on Day 3. As far as Krishna is concerned, he stuck to the short-ball ploy with the oldish Dukes and got the rewards, but when he erred with his lines, he was dispatched with disdain. The Indian team management's confidence in Shardul Thakur looked low because the all-rounder bowled only six overs — three on each day — out of the 100.4 overs sent down by the Indian bowlers. The script has that familiar feeling because it played out on numerous occasions during the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) in Australia. Both Siraj and Krishna have played and traveled with the side enough to do the job from the other end. Yes, England's approach and the Bazball jazz are there, but the erratic lines and lengths are unexplainable at this level. India were very ordinary with the second new ball and allowed the opposition's lower order to add 114 runs in 20.4 overs before Bumrah was summoned for an over before the break to do his magic again. He didn't disappoint and picked two wickets in quick succession, but it was the other two seamers (because they never went towards the third) who were unable to create an impact, even in conditions — overcast and windy — which were ideal for the quicks. Bumrah carried the load in the first outing of the Leeds Test, but he will not be there forever — certainly not for more than three Tests of the series. Which ones are anybody's guess right now, but India need to start preparing for life without Bumrah, and prepare for it now. Handling of the new ball will be a serious concern, and it's important the experienced pro Siraj puts his hand up and steps up. Siraj is no stranger to bowling with the Dukes, and Krishna has had enough experience traveling with the team and playing with A sides. Bumrah continues to eat, sleep, pick wickets, and repeat, and it's about time others drill the same routine into their heads.
