‘There will be days when…’: Rohit Sharma requests Other bowlers to share Pressure with Jasprit Bumrah

Rohit Sharma praised Jasprit Bumrah for his performance in the ongoing Test against Australia, and requested other bowlers to share some workload with Bumrah.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma praised vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah for his performance in the ongoing Test series against Australia. The Indian skipper also requested other bowlers to share their load with the premium pacer after India faced a humiliating 10-wicket loss in Adelaide Test.

Jasprit Bumrah is the only Indian bowler who stood out with a four-wicket haul in the Day-Night Pink-Ball Test against Australia.

“Jasprit Bumrah cannot alone take responsibility. You don’t expect him to bowl from both ends. The other guys also needs to step in and share the responsibility. There will be days when Bumrah won’t get wickets,” Rohit said

Youngster Harshit Rana was hit for 86 in just 16 overs, but the skipper was not in favour of making Harshit being the fall guy for the defeat in Adelaide.

“It is not the right thing to judge Harshit Rana based one Test match. I don’t feel he has done anything wrong and dropping him without a reason doesn’t look good. He got a good player (Travis Head) who put pressure on him. He has got heart and guts to play,” Rohit said as he defended Harshit.

Australia has equaled the series 1-1 as they won against India, and now both the teams will be facing each other for the third Test of the five-match series. The third match is going to begin December 14 and will take place at Gabba.
