This Wasn't A 400-run Wicket; Bumrah Didn’t Get The Support He Needed: Rohit Sharma
With Ravichandran Ashwin: Following the defeat by an innings and 32 runs to South Africa in the first Test, India captain Rohit Sharma believes fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah wasn't given the desired support by the rest of the bowlers and felt the pitch wasn’t of a kind to conceded 400 runs to the hosts’.
Bumrah was the pick of bowlers for India with 4-69, while Mohammed Siraj briefly shined in his 2-91. But their change bowlers, Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur, were ineffective and lacklustre in their lines and lengths while taking a wicket each in what was a disappointing bowling show from the visitors’.
With Ravichandran Ashwin being reduced to a restrictive role, though he took a wicket, it allowed the Proteas batters to score freely as Dean Elgar made a majestic 185, while Marco Jansen and David Bedingham slammed half-centuries.
