Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh said that the Indian team must learn how to win games without their premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah.
Harbhajan raised a question on his YouTube channel about why Mohammed Shami is not being selected in the team.
“Where is Shami? I don’t know why Shami is not playing. I get it, you have Prasidh, he is a good bowler, but he still has a lot to learn. You had good bowlers, and you have slowly sidelined them. With Bumrah, this is a different bowling attack, and without Bumrah, it is entirely different attack altogether. We have to learn the art of winning games without Jasprit Bumrah.”
South Africa chased down the target of 359 in the second ODI of the three-match series in Raipur to level the series 1-1. Indian pacers proved costly in front of the South African batters. Harshit Rana conceded 70 runs in his 10 overs, while Prasidh Krishna bowled with an economy rate of 10.20.
Harbhajan further stressed that in the limited-overs format, India need to find match-winning bowlers.
“In England, without Bumrah, Siraj was unbelievable, fantastic. India won all the Tests where Bumrah did not feature. But, in shorter formats, we need to find people who can win you games, whether it be fast bowling or spin. Find spinners who can come in and take wickets. There is Kuldeep, but what about the rest? Bring in Varun Chakaravarthy in ODIs as well, you already have him in T20Is, so try him in ODIs also.” he said.
