Pujara called Indian bowling weak…raised questions before Boxing Day Test, said a big thing about Bumrah

New Delhi. Before the fourth Test match against Australia, Cheteshwar Pujara has described the Indian bowling attack as weak. Pujara says that he does not think that the bowling attack of the current Team India has the strength to take all 20 wickets of Australia. Pujara said that Indian bowling is a matter of concern in the remaining two Test matches against Australia. The five-match series between India and Australia is currently tied at 1-1. The next two Test matches will be played in Melbourne and Sydney. Till now, there has been a lot of dependence on Jasprit Bumrah in bowling. He has performed well with the red and pink balls but he is not getting enough support from the other end.

Cheteshwar Pujara said, ‘My biggest question and reason for some concern is that Indian bowling is looking a bit weak. The batting is a bit better even though the top five batsmen are not performing as expected but the middle order and lower middle order batsmen like Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Reddy and even Bumrah and Akashdeep are contributing with the bat. Now while the bowling If it is weak then what will be the team combination? This is the biggest question because you cannot leave out Nitish, you cannot leave out Jadeja, then what will be the composition of the team.

7 wickets had fallen for 105 runs… Shreyas Iyer came at number 9 and played the captaincy innings, gave the team its first win.

‘I don’t think we will go into Melbourne with two spinners’
This batsman feels that Nitish Reddy and Ravindra Jadeja are not able to play the role of the fourth and fifth bowlers well. According to Pujara, ‘Ravichandran Ashwin has retired and I don’t think we will enter Melbourne with two spinners. In such a situation, how will you strengthen your bowling? Because all three fast bowlers are performing well but they are not getting enough support from Nitish and Jadeja as the fourth and fifth bowlers. If you look at these two together then bowling does not look very good. We have to think about this because if you want to win a Test match, you have to take 20 wickets and our ability to take 20 wickets is not good. Our other bowlers are not able to play their supporting role well. Therefore, we have to improve this department as soon as possible and I don’t know how it will happen but it is a big question.

Bumrah is not getting support from the other end
The Indian team has bowlers like Mohammad Siraj, Harshit Rana and Akashdeep along with Bumrah in fast bowling, while in the spin attack, after the retirement of Ashwin, there are two options in the form of Jadeja and Washington Sundar. On the current Australia tour, Bumrah has to face the other end. Not getting support in bowling.
