Bumrah’s return will strengthen India’s pace attack. Akash Deep did well in his absence, took 10 wickets in the match. He took 6-99 in the second innings, second Indian bowler after Chetan Sharma (1986) to take 10 wickets in a Test in England.
Siraj also bowled well, took 7 wickets in two innings. Prasidh Krishna will probably be replaced by Bumrah as he couldn’t take wickets and stop runs.
