Even though Jasprit Bumrah’s absence has improved the Indian speed attack, Brett Lee, a former Australian pacer, wants to see a young talent added.
India received a reality check from Australia in the second one-day international at Visakhapatnam, where they were defeated by 10 wickets to tie the series at one game each. The star-studded Indian batting order was destroyed by Mitchell Starc, a left-arm fast, who was no match for them. India was shot out for little over a hundred (117) Friday, the second time in six innings, after being bowled out for 109 in the Indore Test. Australia easily raced down the target.
“I enjoy him. Bring him in. Just why not? (Adding to Test cricket). I suggested that he participate in the World Cup in Australia last year. He wasn’t taken at the beginning, but he ought to have been. Because sheer pace is so difficult to control, he would have been my first choice for my team. While you must take care of them, you must also occasionally send him into the deep end. Bring him on the field, let him play, and watch him frighten a few batters around the globe “According to Brett Lee, Sports Tak.
Lee previously compared Umran to a Ferrari and supported his selection for India’s starting Lineup. Umran should be a lock for India to include in their World Cup plans later this year given the form he is in and assuming he can maintain it. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Bumrah’s health, India’s fast bowling lineup is impressive with Shami, Siraj, and Arshdeep as the top three competitors. Umran also has the potential to improve the lineup with his pace and accuracy.
