Jasprit Bumrah is a weapon India must use sparingly but with the five-Test series against England on the line, the tourists are considering playing their pace spearhead in the fourth Test in Manchester next week.
England and India accused each other of sharp practice after Zak Crawley's conduct at Lord's on Saturday drew an angry reaction from visiting captain Shubman Gill.
An in-form India will take on England at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground for the third match of the ongoing five-Test series, starting today. With the series locked at 1-1 after a resounding 336-run Indian victory in Edgbaston, all eyes now turn to the capital for a clash that promises high drama and potential history.
Following his commanding 269 in the first innings, Gill also became the first batsman in 148 years of Test history to make score of 250 and 150 in the same match.
After India captain Shubman Gill had scored another masterful century at Edgbaston, India fast bowlers Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj blew away England's top order.
“As we begin a new cycle, we know how important it is to win our home series and grab every available point. This is a great opportunity to start strong.”
The former Proteas pace ace boldly predicted that India’s upcoming five-Test series in England will be a result-heavy thriller, with the hosts edging it 3-2.
"It's very hard for the average cricket fan to understand who's the best team in the world and how exactly the top two teams make it to the final," said former England captain Michael Vaughan, now a television pundit.
If there were still doubters of Test cricket's enduring magic in the age of T20 fireworks, South Africa’s thrilling five-wicket victory over defending champions Australia offered the most poetic rebuttal.
