Ex-India Pacer Suggests Restricting Jasprit Bumrah to Test Cricket Due to Injuries
Former India fast bowler Raju Kulkarni has advised managing Jasprit Bumrah's workload by restricting him to Test cricket due to recurring injury concerns linked to his unique bowling action. Kulkarni described Bumrah as India's greatest fast bowler but noted technical flaws in his action make him prone to injuries. Bumrah was recently ruled out of India's two-Test series in Sri Lanka after failing to recover from a left knee injury sustained during an ODI against England. Kulkarni emphasized prioritizing Bumrah's fitness for the critical Test format.
