Play Bumrah Where Conditions Are Toughest, That's Where He Gives You Biggest Edge: Aakash Chopra
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Former India opener Aakash Chopra has advocated for playing Jasprit Bumrah in the most challenging conditions during the five-match Test series against England, citing that following this strategy will give the visitors’ a big edge over the hosts’.
Bumrah will not be playing all five Tests on the tour of England, starting on June 20, due to managing his workload, especially after he suffered a back injury during the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney in January this year and was out of action for almost four months.
“It’ll be tempting to play him in tougher conditions—because in difficult situations, you want your best players. You’d want Kohli in a crunch chase; similarly, you want Bumrah in bowler-friendly conditions. The Oval and Birmingham will be trickier.
