Bumrah’s workload has been a topic of much discussion in recent times.
Experienced fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is one of the few bowlers not only in India but also in the world. However, in recent times, there has been a lot of discussion about the workload of the yorker specialist bowler. This discussion gained further momentum when Bumrah played only three Test matches out of five Test matches on the England tour due to heavy workload.

Meanwhile, former Indian captain and legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev has put forth his point of view on Jasprit’s fitness and his workload. Dev has said that the batsmen of the opposing team are not able to pick Bumrah easily. However, Dev also wondered whether this fast bowler from Gujarat will be able to last long with his unique run-up and action?

The former world champion captain recently said on the Squirrels YouTube channel – Two things always come to the fore. Any bowler in the world whose action is strange, the batsman has difficulty in understanding the ball like Malinga. We do not practice such bowlers in the nets, and suddenly someone comes with a different action, difficult action, so in that fraction of a second, if you cannot understand what he is trying to do, then that is enough for the bowler.
Kapil further said – Therefore, he has become very good because from a batsman’s point of view, no one could have imagined that in such a short run-up, he could generate such a high speed. His action is not like that of an athlete. So Bumrah can prove to be devastating for the opposition team. But will he be able to maintain it for 10 or 12 years, which we find difficult as a cricketer.
Let us tell you that according to media reports, Jasprit Bumrah can be seen playing for Team India in the Asia Cup 2025 starting in September. However, after this he can be given rest in the home Test series against West Indies in October.
