ICC Champions Trophy
Performance Depends On The Team, Not On One Player, Says Kapil Dev On Bumrah's Absence
Bumrah has been ruled out of the marquee tournament due to a lower back injury sustained while leading India in the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney. He was India's best bowler in the series, consistently troubling Australian batters with his exceptional control and aggressive bowling. His absence is a significant blow to India, especially given his match-winning performances in the T20 World Cup 2024.
"The performance doesn't depend on one player, it depends on the team, but yes, if he is not fit it's not good news but the team is there," Kapil Dev told reporters in Kolkata in an event.
