Gambhir asked who will be Team India's 'weapon' in place of Bumrah, will Pakistan not let anyone breathe?

The ODI series with England is over and now all eyes are on the Champions Trophy, where Team India is going to start its campaign from February 20. The biggest concern for India is that Jasprit Bumrah is not with the team. He has been dropped from the Champions Trophy team due to lower back injury. Now the question is who will replace Bumrah? Who will take charge of the pace attack in his place? Who will become a lethal weapon for Team India like him? Head coach Gautam Gambhir has found the answers to these questions. He has named the player who can do the same work as Bumrah for Team India. Like him, he can make Pakistan restless and create fear in other teams.

Not Bumrah, but Shami is there: Gambhir

Now the question is who is the bowler who has the ability to become a lethal weapon like Bumrah? According to Gautam Gambhir, Mohammad Shami can do that job very well in the Champions Trophy. He said that the absence of Bumrah is like a challenge for world class bowler Shami, which he would like to live up to. Gambhir, however, called it a big opportunity for the other bowlers as well.

Jasprit Bumrah is out of the tournament due to lower back injury. With Bumrah being out of the Champions Trophy, India's hopes of winning the Champions Trophy have also suffered a setback in the cricket circles. Many cricket pundits have reported a decline in India's hopes of winning without Bumrah. Obviously, such statements would have reached the ears of Team India as well, to which they would want to give a befitting reply with their game.

Bumrah's absence is an opportunity for all bowlers: Gambhir

Gautam Gambhir also admitted that Bumrah was the most important member of our team. But, if he is not fit then we cannot do anything. Gambhir further said that there are other bowlers in the team who will have the opportunity to fill the vacant place of Bumrah. Hopefully, they will grab this opportunity and try to bring glory to the country.

Shami is a 'world class' bowler, he can do wonders

Gambhir gave a special statement about Shami. He said that Shami is a world class bowler. His return after injury is a boost up for the team. We have full faith in his experience, his ability and capability. We know what he can do when he has the ball in his hand. We want him to enter the Champions Trophy fresh. This is the reason why we also took care of his workload after his return from injury. In the 8-match white ball series against England, Shami played only 2 T20s and 2 ODIs.
