Bumrah was sensational in the second innings of the opening Test match as he returned with impressive figures of 4-41. The Indian pack leader bagged a total of six wickets in the opening Test but Mohammed Siraj could not deliver at his home ground as he went wicketless and was given only 11 overs by Rohit Sharma.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah are known to bowl in tandem and have consistently delivered for the team.
“Obviously, Shami’s absence does have an effect but that does not mean chances of injury will increase for Bumrah. His action is absolutely perfect now. When there is pressure from both sides, whether it is Shami taking wickets from one side or Bumrah working quietly from one side. Bumrah is taking wickets and Shami is working quietly, their partnership not only reduces the pressure on each other but also augurs well for the team,” said Pathan while talking to PTI TV.
Pathan added he is a big fan of Jasprit Bumrah’s attitude. Bumrah has consistently performed in all three forms of the game.
“I have been a big fan of Jasprit Bumrah’s attitude, especially in Test cricket, the way he has given priority to Test cricket despite injuries. “Even if he gets injured, I will salute him because he is trying his best. We all have to always keep this in mind,” said Pathan.
The second Test match between India and England will be played at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam from 2nd February.
