'He Can Replace Jasprit Bumrah, Can Be Next Shami': Ex-India Pacer Reserves Big Praise For RCB Star
BCCI medical team faces the big challenge of getting Burmah match-fit in time for 2023 ODI World Cup in India, which will be played in the October-November window, later this year.
Indian cricket team's leading pacer Jasprit Bumrah plays for Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League but he isn't playing the T20 tournament due to his back injury. The 29-year-old hasn't played Interational cricket since September last year and will also miss upcoming IND vs AUS WTC Final. BCCI medical team faces the big challenge of getting Burmah match-fit in time for 2023 ODI World Cup in India, which will be played in the October-November window, later this year.
Meanwhile, former India fast bowler RP Singh believes Mohammed Siraj can be the perfect replacement for Bumrah. The way Siraj has bowled so far in IPL 2023 has been highly impressive. The RCB star has dismissed 15 batters in nine games to be ranked among highest wicket-taking bowlers in the ongoing IPL season thus far.
In an exclusive interview with Hindustan Times, former Indian left-arm pacer RP Singh praised how well Mohammed Siraj has managed to maintain his fitness, adding that the RCB star could be an ideal replacement for injured Jasprit Bumrah.
"I have been following Siraj for a long time now. When he joined the Indian team, his graph was really high, and then slowly it started falling. But it is good to see that he has worked on a lot of things this time, fitness being a major point. Now if you look at the technical bit, he has worked a lot on his wrist position and follow through, for which he is getting the ball top bounce better and is also bowling stump-to-stump."
"He can be a replacement for Bumrah. In fact, I feel that if his graph continues to increase, he can be the next Mohammed Shami," he added.
