Mohammad Siraj bowled 109 overs in three matches and took 13 wickets. Akash Deep, who came for the second and third test, has already bowled 72 overs. The contrary is clear. Stokes has bowled the mantras for a long time and has taken additional responsibility when his team needs him, even if he is not an expert bowler. Bumrah, meanwhile, plays in carefully managed mantras. The plan was already determined before the series that Bumrah would play only three of the five tests to protect his body for future matches.

Do you believe that the management of the bowling charge of Jaspreet Bumrah of India is appropriate?

Critics like Irfan Pathan feel that India can hold Bumrah back very much. He said that when Joe was batting at 5 days 5 at the route Lords, Bumrah bowled only five overs in that important phase. England changed the match from there.India’s coaching staff defended the scheme. Assistant coach Ryan Ten Dock explained that Bumrah is the most effective in low bursting and other bowlers are formed in a long time. It is about receiving the best from all.But raw numbers show that India’s main bowlers are not bowling much compared to England. In fact, Bumrah has bowled less overs than Siraj or Stokes, but remains India’s best wicket -taking. The difference is pushing through pain and risk for the needs of its team, while India sticks to the pre-and-deaf boundaries to keep Bumrah fresh.As is required for a win in the series Manchester, this debate will grow loudly. If India needs a big magic to win, will Bumrah get out who does Stokes for England? Or will the workload plans see him from the shore?
