Jasprit Bumrah is Team India's number 1 fast bowler. India's victory depends a lot on him. That's why BCCI takes special care of him. Captain Rohit Sharma is also cautious about him. The team management wants him to remain fit for big series and big tournaments like the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Also, he should be able to play for the Indian team for as many days as possible. That's why he is given complete rest. Veteran cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has made a big revelation regarding his rest. Along with this, he also warned Team India.

Bumrah played only this many matches.

Sanjay Manjrekar revealed during the analysis of the Adelaide Test on ESPNcricinfo that Jasprit Bumrah is given too much rest. He said that out of all the matches played by India in the last 3 years, Bumrah has participated in only one-third of them. He played only 34 percent of the matches for India, even though he is the best bowler on the Indian team. Supporting Sunil Gavaskar, he said that Bumrah should play all the remaining matches in the series. This is the series that has been remembered for years. He is given so much rest for these occasions.

Manjrekar also warned during this time. According to him, Team India depends too much on him, which can be detrimental. He said that Mohammed Shami has been India's second-best bowler. However, many times he has surpassed Bumrah, while Siraj has been playing as the third pacer of the team. Now it is time for the management to find an alternative to Bumrah.

Manjrekar said that when Bumrah is not on the attack, the other two fast bowlers of the team should also be equally effective, which was lacking in Adelaide. If this is not done soon, the condition of the team will become like the 90s. As soon as one bowler is removed, the opposing team will dominate.

Is India really too dependent on Bumrah?

There is some truth in Sanjay Manjrekar's words. The Indian team seems to be very dependent on Jasprit Bumrah. There is pressure on him to play more and more matches and bowl more overs. He has played 5 out of the last 6 Test matches. He was rested only in the Mumbai Test. At the same time, his deadly bowling helped Team India win by 295 runs in Perth.

During the Adelaide Test, he was successful in creating pressure from one side and taking wickets. But he did not get support from Harshit Rana and Siraj from the other end, as a result of which Team India had to face defeat.
