Gautam Gambhir's much-awaited first press conference as the new India head coach took place on Monday where the former opening batsman laid down his vision for the side.
Amongst the many topics he covered during the presser, he talked about the importance of workload management for the premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah and called him a ‘rare bowler'. "I've said it before, workload management for someone like Jasprit (Bumrah) is important.
He is one rare bowler that anyone would want. You want him to play important games. That's why the workload management for not just him but fast bowlers is important,” Gambhir said in the press conference.
Bumrah has repeatedly proved his worth for the Indian side. The 30-year-old previously spent an extended time on the sidelines and spent most of 2022 going in and out of the Indian team.
