Team India has begun preparations for the upcoming Lords Test during their ongoing tour of England. When captain Shubman Gill chose to play the Edgbaston Test without pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, it surprised many. Several former cricketers even called it a self-destructive move. However, India silenced critics with a dominant victory and etched their name in the history books. The subsequent game will now be held at the historic Lord’s Cricket Ground, and Jasprit Bumrah seems all set to return for it.

Bumrah Sweats It Out In Nets
Having taken a five-wicket haul in Leeds, Bumrah is now all geared up to serve yet another incendiary spell at Lord’s. He was rested in the second Test under workload management. When he was practicing in the nets, he was in superb rhythm, and even Indian batsmen were troubled by his incendiary deliveries. Indian fans would be looking forward to him repeating this kind of impact in the Lord’s Test.
Bumrah’s Record At Lord’s
Even though Bumrah averages 26 with the ball on English territory, his Lord’s record is not impressive either. He has so far played a solitary Test at this historic ground—in 2021—where he was able to bag a paltry three wickets. During the first innings of that match, he bowled 26 overs without claiming a wicket. But he made a comeback in the second innings with three wickets to his credit.
Rest Was The Key To Preventing Injury
Before this, Bumrah was a part of the Indian team for the Australian tour, wherein he gave a memorable performance. He took 32 wickets in the five-match series at an average of a mere 13. Sadly, he got injured in the back during the last match and had to keep himself away from cricket for the next three months. Since then the management of his team has been careful in controlling his workload, and that policy is now paying off in the England tour.
