    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, Sep 24<\/strong>&nbsp; Former Indian pacer Chetan Sharma believes Virat Kohli should not &quot;waste a talent like Jasprit Bumrah&quot; in Test matches on home soil.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bumrah has featured in 12 Test matches so far, in which he has scalped 62 wickets at an average of 19.24, thus becoming the linchpin of the Indian bowling unit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>All these 12 Tests have been played on foreign soil (3 in South Africa, 3 in England, 4 in Australia and 2 in West Indies) where wickets naturally assist pacers. In all these places, the right-arm pacer from Mumbai has made a mark and performed brilliantly. However, the real test for him will come up when India take on South Africa in the three-match series at home beginning October 2 in Visakhapatnam.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I think he should be rested (from Tests in India). We should not waste a talent like him. There&#39;s a reason why he&#39;s the best bowler in the world now, we shouldn&#39;t test him in these conditions at all,&quot; Sharma told Hindustan Times.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;World Test Championship is going on and Bumrah is very important for India&#39;s plans. There&#39;s no need to prove it to the world that Bumrah can take wickets on Indian pitches. Ultimately we need to win and earn points,&quot; Sharma added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After the Proteas Test, India will be hosting Bangladesh for two more Test matches from November 14.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, Sharma believes India, who are currently at the top spot in the points table in the World Test Championship, have enough bowling strength to pick up 20 wickets in Bumrah&#39;s absence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Times have changed, gone are the days when we used to depend only on Kapil Dev as the lone wicket-taking fast bowler. Now we have one of the best bowling line-ups in the word. We have Bhuvneshwar (Kumar), (Mohammad) Shami, Ishant (Sharma), Navdeep (Saini) is also there, so give them chances, why put pressure only on Bumrah alone?&quot; &quot;Bumrah should be called only when it&#39;s absolutely necessary,&quot; he said.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
