As the Indian cricket team stares at a whitewash against New Zealand, having already lost 2 matches of the series, captain Rohit Sharma has been sent a bold message to eave out Jasprit Bumrah.
Arguably the finest pace bowler in the country, Bumrah hasn't been effective as much as the team would've liked him to be on spin-friendly pitches against New Zealand.
Ahead of the third Test in Wankhede, Dinesh Karthik has told the Indian team management to give Bumrah a rest ahead of the Australia tour. "Jasprit Bumrah definitely needs a rest without a doubt.
That is happening, and you will see Mohammed Siraj come in. I can't think of any other change unless someone has a niggle. I don't see any reason why the batters who played this game or the bowlers should not get an opportunity," Karthik told Cricbuzz.
