Though India will be at a great disadvantage if spearhead Jasprit Bumrah’s reported back stress fracture prevents him from participating in the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia from October 16 to November 13, former India bowling coach Bharat Arun reckons it’s an opportunity for others to rise to the occasion.
PTI reported on Thursday that Bumrah has been ruled out of the competition, which India won way back in 2007, but have missed out on all these years despite thriving on T20 cricket through the popular Indian Premier League. “Bumrah’s class would be difficult to get, but Bhuvneshwar [Kumar] steps up, Arshdeep [Singh] bowls well in the death and so does [Harshal] Patel. They all bowl well at the death and they have to rise to the occasion,” Arun told mid-day from Chennai on Thursday.
