Jasprit Bumrah said on Tuesday his role as a senior member of the side was well-defined irrespective of the vice-captaincy. “I don’t look at it as a particular position, (or) that a bowler or a batter is a leader. As a senior member of the team, you have to help the side in whatever capacity you can. For me it is just a post.
India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is on track to make a return in the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka, vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah said.
Virat Kohli's 100th Test match at the PCA Stadium in Mohali, which begins from Friday, the BCCI has allowed 50 per cent fans at the venue to watch the landmark game from the stands. "The first Test between India and Sri Lanka to be played at the Punjab Cricket Stadium in Mohali will not be held behind closed doors. The decision to allow spectators into the ground is one taken by the State Cricketing Associations and in the present circumstances, is based on various factors. I have spoken with the PCA office bearers and they have confirmed that cricket fans will be able to witness the historic moment of Virat Kohli playing his 100th Test match," BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a statement.
Ravichandran Ashwin, who has been recovering from an unspecified injury he suffered in January, is shaping up well and looking "comfortable during training" ahead of the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka, India vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah said on Tuesday. The 35-year-old Ashwin missed the recent white-ball series against West Indies at home as well as the three-match T20I contest against visiting Sri Lanka due to the injury. "The test team had already come before and they were practising, he (Ashwin) is shaping up well and I don't know, I am not aware that there are any complaints," Bumrah said at the virtual press conference ahead of the first Test against Sri Lanka beginning here from Friday.

Rohit Sharma's trusted lieutenant Jasprit Bumrah says the India skipper has always had unflinching faith in his ability, backing him to bowl the most important overs even when he was new at Mumbai Indians, and now gives him the freedom to do things his way. If Bumrah is to be believed, then Rohit has played a crucial role in his development as one of the world's premier fast bowlers. "When I came into the side Ricky (Ponting) was the captain and I was not playing regularly. I started playing a lot under Rohit, he had a lot of confidence in me. He instilled a lot of confidence," Bumrah said during a conversation with India team-mate Ravichandran Ashwin on the senior off-spinner's 'DRS With Ash' episode on his YouTube channel.
Just a day after clinching yet another T20I series win, India will take on Sri Lanka in the third and final T20I at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala. Shreyas Iyer rose to the occasion once again as he smashed a fine 74 after coming into bat at no 3. Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja also earned plaudits for their cameo as India chased down a daunting total of 184 last night at the same venue. India could make a couple of changes for the dead rubber against Sri Lanka, who will look to end the series on a high note ahead of the two Tests next month. The likes of Ravi Bishnoi and Mohammed Siraj might get a chance to test themselves.
