IND vs WI, 1st Test: Siraj comes out of Bumrah shadow with performance only next to Kapil Dev in Ahmedabad

Jasprit Bumrah looked out of touch at the recent-concluded Asia Cup 2025 where he managed just seven wickets in five games in India's title-winning campaign. The Indian pacer, however, was back at his best in the first Test against West Indies at Ahmedabad which started on October 2. The pacer picked up three wickets, two of which came in the second session on searing yorkers, showing why is he considered one of the greatest modern pacers in world cricket. The batters, although from lower order, had no answer to Bumrah's laser-guided yorkers in a cloudy Ahmedabad.<h2>Bumrah leaves WI dry with searing yorkers in cloudy Ahmedabad</h2>Bumrah picked up his first wicket in the seventh over of the innings before unleashing himself in the second half with West Indies already seven down. The first of Bumrah's yorker victims was Justin Greaves who saw his off-stump being uprooted on a perfectly bowled full delivery. The next one was debutant Johann Layne who found two of his stumps being undone by a similar Bumrah yorker like the previous one. Have a look at the wickets below:

India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has backed premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah despite his lackluster performance in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025. Bumrah had played three games in the tournament so far and has taken only three wickets while going for 8.36 runs per over - an unusual number for a bowler of his calibre.

Asia Cup 2025: India assistant coach backs Bumrah amid uncharacteristic performances

Former Pakistan pacer Umar Gul has praised the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for handling and management of pacers including Jasprit Bumrah. The Indian pacer has returned to the shortest format of the game after nearly 14 months. Bumrah's workload management has been a topic of discussion ever since he picked up a second back stress fracture in January 2025 during the Test tour of Australia. The pacer has since played in IPL 2025 and three out of five Tests on England tour. Gul also compared it to Pakistan's team culture and said that management is absent in Pakistan.<h2>Gul calls out Pakistan team culture</h2>Gul, while talking on a show on Pakistan based channel PTV, said that the rotation policy isn't present in Pakistan team culture.

We only look at the performance: this new guy has performed, so bring him in and let him play.

Ex-Pak pacer lauds Bumrah's workload management by BCCI and calls out Pakistan 'team culture'

Jasprit Bumrah is arguably India's best pacer till date and Indian team knows how important his impact in a match could be. Bumrah recently played in an away Test series against England. The pacer was made available for three of five Tests citing workload management.

While Wright took to social media to comment on the matter, arguing Manjrekar missed the point in Bumrah’s case, Chopra feared the worst, saying such remarks could lead to Bumrah's abrupt selection across formats, which could push him towards a potential early retirement.&nbsp;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Sanjay Manjrekar misses the point . Although cricket is obviously a team sport, Indians are a nation that idolise their greats .

"Indian cricket must not adjust for Bumrah, Bumrah must. That is, if he wants to. By making some tough choices or working even harder on his fitness, this fitness bar can be raised to whatever levels one wants, like all fast bowling greats have done before him," Manjrekar wrote in his column for the Hindustan Times. &nbsp;Bumrah’s workload management came to the limelight after he failed to feature in all Tests on the recently concluded UK tour, playing three of the five matches, as also suggested by the NCA and team doctors, considering his persistent back injuries. Though he (expectedly) excelled in his brief outings, picking 14 wickets across six innings and breaking multiple records alongside, he failed to help India win any game he played in. The visitors, however, won only those two matches where he didn’t feature, with the remaining quicks faring better in his absence. &nbsp;While Manjrekar picked up the same point, saying if a fast bowler (Bumrah here) is not 100% fit and available for selection for all matches (on an away tour), he shall not be leading the pace attack, Chopra admits accepting Bumrah’s case, for what he brings to the table (if he is 100%) and if that means that the team must rest or rotate him, so be it. &nbsp;"I will be honest, I don't think he will play all the Test matches. He is going to pick and choose. Whether it's right or wrong, it's not a moral or ethical debate, is what I think. If you have a player of that level available, play him whenever he can," Chopra said on his YouTube channel.&nbsp; &nbsp;"There is no bowler like Bumrah. Don't push him forcibly towards early retirement because he is 24-carat pure gold. He is the Kohinoor diamond. The longer he plays, the better it is. I don't think he will play too much Test cricket, but for however long he plays, I would say hold onto it," he continued. &nbsp;Meanwhile, Bumrah, who missed the final Test against England at the Oval due to niggle, is said to have made himself available for selection for the forthcoming 2025 Asia Cup.

The NCA and team doctors advised the Indian management against playing Bumrah in all matches (on away tours), protecting him from recurring back injuries.

Fit again Jasprit Bumrah set to feature in India's Asia Cup 2025 squad - Report

Cricket broadcaster Sanjay Manjrekar is known for making bold statements, and this time was no different. Lately, he has made some remarks on why Jasprit Bumrah should not be Team India’s frontline seamer, also suggesting how he, and not Indian cricket, must be the one adjusting. Meanwhile, Bumrah was part of the recently concluded England Tests, featuring in just three of the five matches, as also earlier suggested by the NCA and team doctors, considering his persistent back injuries over the years. While India did not win any match that he featured in, the pace attack fared well in his absence, helping India come from behind and square the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy (2-2).&nbsp;Manjrekar, who called out the games from the commentary box, shared his opinion in his column for Hindustan Times (HT), suggesting that the selectors must now take some harsh calls to safeguard players’ careers and, more importantly, Indian cricket.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/india-t20i-captain-suryakumar-yadav-clears-fitness-test-ahead-of-asia-cup-squad-selection-1755358373766">India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav clears fitness test ahead of Asia Cup squad selection</a> &nbsp;"The game will always show us the mirror, however much we try and gloss over things. It was poetic justice that the two Tests India won were two matches Bumrah did not play,” Manjrekar wrote. "This should embolden the Indian selectors to make some hard choices when it comes to big-name players. This series has been a great lesson to them and to us too, the two Test victories India achieved did not feature Virat (Kohli), (Cheteshwar) Pujara, Rohit (Sharma), (Mohammed) Shami and Bumrah too! It reminded us of the eternal truth of sport and life, no one, however great, is indispensable. And this is how India must handle Bumrah," he added in his column for HT.&nbsp;The former India and Mumbai batter also wrote that if Bumrah cannot play two games in a row or even more on the upcoming tours, he must not be leading the pace attack.&nbsp; &nbsp;"If he cannot play more than two matches in a row or sometimes even more than one, he must not be your frontline pick. Players who are match fit, eager, keen to play and perform should be picked any day for me over a highly skilled player. It will motivate such enthusiastic players even more.

Manjrekar suggests that the selectors must now take some harsh calls to safeguard players’ careers and, more importantly, Indian cricket.

Cricket broadcaster Sanjay Manjrekar is known for making bold statements, and this time was no different. Lately, he has made some remarks on why Jasprit Bumrah should not be Team India’s frontline seamer, also suggesting how he, and not Indian cricket, must be the one adjusting. Meanwhile, Bumrah was part of the recently concluded England Tests, featuring in just three of the five matches, as also earlier suggested by the NCA and team doctors, considering his persistent back injuries over the years. While India did not win any match that he featured in, the pace attack fared well in his absence, helping India come from behind and square the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy (2-2). Manjrekar, who called out the games from the commentary box, shared his opinion in his column for Hindustan Times (HT), suggesting that the selectors must now take some harsh calls to safeguard players’ careers and, more importantly, Indian cricket.

It was poetic justice that the two Tests India won were two matches Bumrah did not play,” Manjrekar wrote. "This should embolden the Indian selectors to make some hard choices when it comes to big-name players. This series has been a great lesson to them and to us too, the two Test victories India achieved did not feature Virat (Kohli), (Cheteshwar) Pujara, Rohit (Sharma), (Mohammed) Shami and Bumrah too! It reminded us of the eternal truth of sport and life, no one, however great, is indispensable. And this is how India must handle Bumrah," he added in his column for HT. The former India and Mumbai batter also wrote that if Bumrah cannot play two games in a row or even more on the upcoming tours, he must not be leading the pace attack. "If he cannot play more than two matches in a row or sometimes even more than one, he must not be your frontline pick. Players who are match fit, eager, keen to play and perform should be picked any day for me over a highly skilled player. It will motivate such enthusiastic players even more. This is not an idealistic position to take, but it’s the right one for the long-term health of a team sport," Manjrekar continued. ‘He must adjust to Indian Cricket’ However, he dropped his boldest remark on Bumrah, saying no one is bigger than the game, and that he should be the one adjusting to how Indian Cricket operates and not the other way around.
