Indian Team answered most of their batting worries in the recent three Match T20I series against Australia but their Death Bowling is still a very big concern for the team.
Indian team win the series by 2-1 but, Bhuvneshwar Kumar conceded 21 runs in the 18th over of the first innings, Bhuvi’s bowling in the death over is big concern for team India since Asia Cup 2022.
“We know that he has had more good days than the bad days in the last so many years. Yes, of late it has not been the kind of performance that he wants but that can happen to any of the bowlers. You can see the opposition as well, it’s not easy to bowl in the death,” Rohit said of the veteran fast bowler in a post-match press conference.
“We’ve been working on some execution plans and hopefully we can give him more options to bowl in the death and he’ll be as good as he was before. And he is not short on confidence. We want him to come back as quickly as possible because he has bowled those difficult overs in the past. As a team, we believe in his ability. Time for us to show that faith in him and keep backing his skill set,” said the Indian captain.
Rohit Sharma also backs Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel as pace duo returned from injury.
“Those three (Bumrah, Harshal, and Axar Patel) who haven’t played much cricket in the past are playing now, so you got to give some time to them and get them back (in rhythm) as quickly as possible. It’s just about getting their confidence and with the kind of individuals they are, I don’t think it will be too long,” Rohit added.
