News India Live, Digital Desk: Indian cricket team’s veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has raised sharp questions on the successor of Jasprit Bumrah and the current situation of Team India’s bowling attack. Ashwin believes that Bumrah is ‘Kohinoor’ for the Indian team, but after him there is no bowler who can take his place. Ashwin has warned that if sports science and workload management are not addressed, Indian bowling will lose its ‘attractiveness’. 4 main points of Ashwin’s warning ‘Mercedes-Benz’ vs ‘delivery truck’: Ashwin has compared Bumrah to a luxury Mercedes, which should be driven very carefully. He said that a fast bowler’s body is like a ‘delivery truck’ which carries a lot of load. Playing Bumrah in every match is like playing with his career. Advice for rest on home pitches: Ashwin argues that India should reduce dependence on Bumrah in home Test matches. He suggested that Bumrah should be saved only for foreign tours (SENA countries) and important ICC tournaments. Lack of sports science: Ashwin advised the management to use modern ‘sports science’ to measure Bumrah’s fatigue. It is risky to field a player just after he says “I am fine”. Future match-winners: Ashwin has named players like Abhishek Sharma and Varun Chakraborty as Bumrah’s successors, but he made it clear that creating a Bumrah-like impact in fast bowling will be the biggest challenge in the times to come. Why is the ‘post-Bumrah’ era a matter of concern? Mohammed Shami and Siraj’s ups and downs: Shami’s age and The pressure on Bumrah is increasing due to Siraj’s lack of consistency in form. Lack of bench strength: Considering big events like T20 World Cup 2026, India still does not have any ‘like-to-liker’ replacement for Bumrah ready.
