Ravindra Jadeja Leads Indian Bowlers in Overs Bowled Since 2022

Concerns Over Indian Bowling Without Bumrah

The Indian cricket team's bowling lineup is facing significant challenges in the absence of their star bowler, Jasprit Bumrah. Currently, Bumrah is part of the 15-member squad led by Shubman Gill for the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in England, where he is set to participate in only three out of five Test matches. His injury, sustained during the Sydney Test of the 2024 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, has raised concerns due to excessive workload. Notably, Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has bowled the highest number of overs for the national team in international cricket since 2022.

Jadeja Dominates the Bowling Charts

Ravindra Jadeja leads the chart with an impressive total of 1043.4 overs bowled across 93 innings. Following him is Mohammed Siraj, who has bowled 957.1 overs in 102 innings, and Ravichandran Ashwin with 902.2 overs in 65 innings. Jasprit Bumrah has contributed 818.4 overs, while Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel have bowled 612.3 and 593.3 overs, respectively. This data highlights the crucial role these bowlers have played for India in recent years.

Bumrah's Intense Practice Session

Jasprit Bumrah was seen practicing vigorously ahead of the second Test against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Despite speculation regarding his participation in the match, with reports indicating he might be rested to manage his workload, Bumrah's full-paced bowling during practice has sparked optimism among fans about his potential inclusion in the upcoming Test starting July 2.
