    India Will Have To Utilise Bumrah Carefully In T20Is Against SA: Parthiv Patel

    Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel said his eyes will be fixed on how the side manages Jasprit Bumrah’s quota of overs in the upcoming T20I series against South Africa, starting in Cuttack on Tuesday.

    In T20Is this year, India has used Bumrah to bowl majorly in the powerplay, meaning that he isn’t used much in the back end of the innings. “It’s an important series for India, especially against the World Cup runners-up South Africa. It will be good preparation. There are a few things I'm looking forward to. Number one is how India uses Jasprit Bumrah," said Patel on JioStar.

    "India has utilised his three overs in the powerplay since the Asia Cup, and even in the Australia tour, that was the strategy. If they bowl him for three overs in the Powerplay, he only has one over left for the death, which is the 19th over. So, India will have to use him carefully. If they want him to bowl three overs early, then Arshdeep Singh has to partner Bumrah in the death overs," he added.
