“Yes, it is,” said Rohit. “To be honest, he has bowled a lot of overs. There is no doubt about that. But then, every Test match we play, we keep that in mind. You know, really there is a workload on all the bowlers. But Again, if someone is in such good form, you want to try to maximize that form as much as possible and that’s what we are trying to do with Bumrah.
“But there comes a time when you need to step back a little bit and give him a little extra relief. So, we’ve been very careful. I’ve been very careful. I talk to him about that so that he How it feels and things like that. So, those things have to be managed carefully and I’m trying to do that on the field.”
Bumrah’s 53.2 overs at the MCG are the most overs ever bowled in a Test match. This takes his total in the series to 141.2, which puts him ahead of Pat Cummins (136.4) and Mitchell Starc (131.2) and Mohammed Siraj (129.1).
India dropped a big, match-changing century in Adelaide, two in Brisbane and another in Melbourne, not to mention a blistering half-century from the 19-year-old debutant on Boxing Day. Would India have been in greater danger if they had gone with some other frontline bowling option instead of including all-rounders in the playing eleven?
Rohit said, “Look, Akash Deep (5 wickets for 54) and Mohammed Siraj (16 wickets for 31) are frontline seamers.” “It’s just that it has been very unfortunate for him not to feature in the wicket column.
“Siraj, especially, is bowling his heart out. I don’t think he can do anything else. Obviously, there are some technical aspects of his game that he is looking at. But apart from that, his efforts In terms of his attitude, while bowling long spells, he is always on top, it is just that the wicket column does not show how well he has bowled.
“Aakash is also the same. In both the matches in Brisbane and here, he has bowled really well. It is unfortunate that he could not get wickets to his name. It is everyone’s job to ensure that whoever plays gets a job It’s got to be done for the team, it’s not about one or two individuals.”
“When we saw him [Reddy] For the first time, we saw that there was a lot of potential, which is why he came here in the first place,” Rohit said, “and he came here and showed what he is capable of doing. You know, he was brilliant with the bat.
“He understood the situation very well, read the situation very well. And he also has solid technique. And a brilliant mind, which should not be forgotten.”
“It’s very difficult to say about Vikas’s development at the moment as he has only had four Test matches but I hope he plays for India for a long time in all formats.”
