Bumrah Sets Unwanted Record, Concedes 100+ Runs for First Time in Test Career

Jasprit Bumrah experienced a significant setback in the fourth Test against England, conceding over 100 runs in an innings for the first time in his Test career. This marks a concerning development for the usually economical bowler.

Bumrah's pace has also been noticeably reduced, with only one delivery exceeding 140 kmph. This drop in speed, combined with a minor ankle injury sustained during the match, raises further questions about his current form and fitness. Despite taking 14 wickets in the series so far, this performance highlights a potential vulnerability.

The combination of decreased pace and the unwanted record of conceding over 100 runs suggests Bumrah may be struggling with the physical demands of Test cricket. This comes at a crucial time for India, as they look to compete in a challenging series against England.

The team management will be closely monitoring Bumrah's condition and considering strategies to manage his workload. His performance in the remaining matches will be crucial for India's chances of success.
