All eyes were on Jasprit Bumrah towards the opening of the five -game test series between England and India in Leeds. Day 2, Jasprit Bumrah proved exactly why he was considered to be one of the most ferocious qualifiers in the world. He delivered 13 pure shooting, taking the three counters to fall for the day.
But behind Bumrah’s brilliance in Headingley, a worrying gap was exposed by the former Indian head coach Shastri and the former captain of England Nasser Hussain, and it is the excessive dependence of the team on their AS launcher.

Its control, speed and angles let the English strikers guess. He finished day 2 with exceptional figures of 3 for 48 in 13 overs. But there was a big problem to brew on the young Indian cricket team.
With the exception of Bumrah, the rest of the Indian bowling attack, including Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur, had no impact against England. They disclosed 154 points without a single breakthrough. Cricket experts like Nasser and Bumrah quickly noticed the huge difference in quality.

The commentator believes that Indian quisors could have taken more counters with better capture. Hussain has also noted a big difference between Jasprit Bumrah and other Indian Quakers.
Nasser Hussain would have been cited by Sky Sports Cricket: “With his unorthodox, they could have had more counters if they had grabbed it well. It will be a concern for India, the deposit of when Bumrah will be the bowling in the rest. But it is a small sample size; the others will enter the series. ”
