IND vs ENG 2024: Don’t worry about Jasprit Bumrah, he is managing himself well – Dale Steyn

Former South African gun fast bowler Dale Steyn doesn’t want fans to worry about Jasprit Bumrah’s workload as he feels the Indian pacer is managing himself well. Bumrah is set to be rested from the fourth Test match at Ranchi after sending down 80.5 overs in the first three Test matches against England.

The ace bowler is the leading wicket-taker in the ongoing series with 17 scalps in three matches at an average of 13.65. Bumrah had returned with match-winning figures of 9-91 in the second Test match at Vizag and thus was awarded Player of the Match.

“I don’t know how his workload is going right now. I suppose being an Indian player there is going to be a lot of workload. There is a lot of cricket in India these days. The Indian team is playing a lot of cricket and people want to play against them. They are traveling most of the time. So, there is a huge percentage of the bowlers who will be bowling a lot of overs. Bumrah could be one of those guys. But he is being managed quite well,” said Steyn while talking to TOI.

“In the past few years, Indian fast-bowling stocks have gone up hugely. I don’t think we should be worrying too much about Bumrah because he is managing himself quite well.”

Steyn added that there is good communication between India’s think tank and Bumrah as he has been rested at the right time.

“There is good communication with Bumrah himself about what he wants to do, when he wants to play and when he takes time off. It seems like India really doesn’t miss him because the stepped-in bowlers are up to the standards. It is a very good thing about Indian fast bowling,” said Steyn.

India and England will next take on each other at JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi in the fourth Test match from Friday.
