New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India i.e. BCCI takes full care of the workload management of its players. Due to continuous cricket, players get very little time to rest. In such a situation, the Indian team management keeps giving breaks to its players from time to time. Something similar is being seen in the fourth match of the ongoing five-Test series against England. According to reports, Jasprit Bumrah may be rested in the remaining two Test matches of the series. Because after the Test series against England, all the players will be busy in the Indian Premier League. Mohammad Siraj was also rested in the second test.
In such a situation, the board wants that the players should get breaks from time to time, so that they can keep themselves fresh for the national team as well as franchise cricket. In such a situation, the question now arises that if Bumrah is rested from the remaining two matches of the ongoing Test series against England, then which player will be given a chance in his place in the team and with what playing will Rohit Sharma take the field for the Ranchi Test? But will descend.
Rohit has two options in the form of Mukesh and Akashdeep.
Jasprit Bumrah has performed strongly for Team India in the ongoing Test series against England. Bumrah has bowled a total of 80.5 overs in the three matches of the series, in which he took 17 wickets. Especially in the Visakhapatnam Test, his bowling changed the course of the match.
In such a situation, if Bumrah is rested in the fourth Test match, then Rohit Sharma has two options in fast bowling in the form of Mukesh Kumar and Akashdeep. Akashdeep is included in the squad of the Indian team, but he has not got a chance to play. Whereas Mukesh Kumar was released from the squad after the Visakhapatnam Test.
However, after being released from Team India, Mukesh came back in Ranji Trophy and bowled brilliantly for Bengal and took 10 wickets in the match against Bihar. Talking about Akashdeep, he impressed everyone with his seam bowling against England A. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma can take one of these two from Ranchi Test.
Spin option can also be considered
Ranchi pitch has been helpful for spin bowlers. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma can also consider bowling additional spin in place of Bumrah. In spin bowling, Team India has two options in the form of Axar Patel and Washington Sundar. Axar got a chance to play in the first two Test matches for Team India, but after the return of Ravindra Jadeja, he had to be out of the playing eleven. Whereas Sundar has not got a chance to play yet. In such a situation, now it has to be seen with which option Rohit Sharma moves forward.
Probable playing XI for Ranchi Test- Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, Shubhman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar/Akashdeep.
