News India Live, Digital Desk: The pressure on the Indian cricket team can be seen clearly after the crushing defeat at the hands of England at the historic ground of Lord’s. The team’s performance was worrying and this has further increased the challenges for the next matches. In this difficult time, former Indian veteran bowler Anil Kumble has given an important advice to the team, in which he has said that fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah should play in the remaining matches of the series. According to Kumbale, in the current situation, the attendance in the team of sharp bowler like Jasprit Bumrah is extremely important. He believes that Bumrah can put pressure on the opposing team with his pace attack and can make the team a return by taking wickets. They have the ability to change the attitude of the match on their own. The major defeat in Lord’s has increased the concerns of Team India, and especially when Virat Kohli was the captain, the team had to face such difficulties. In such a situation, Kumble believes that it will not be prudent to save the main weapon like Bumrah when the return to the series is the most important goal. The firm belief of Kumbale is that instead of giving rest to a player like Bumrah, it would be prudent to take into the field at this critical turn, especially when the team is in trouble and needs their best players. Now it has to be seen how much attention to the team management and captain Kumble’s experienced advice and how to make a strategy ahead.
