Trouble for Bumrah? Gambhir, BCCI reportedly planning to crack down on 'culture of picking and choosing games'
Despite concerns over his fitness and workload following his back injury in January, Jasprit Bumrah's absence in two matches in the high-voltage Test series against England has reportedly rubbed head coach Gautam Gambhir and the BCCI the wrong way. read more India pacer Jasprit Bumrah and head coach Gautam Gambhir at a training session ahead of the fifth Test against England at The Oval. AP Amid the euphoria over Team India's epic six-run victory at The Oval that helped them level the five-Test series against England 2-2, head coach Gautam Gambhir and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) are quietly working on the road ahead. They are also reportedly planning to continue their crackdown against superstar culture within the team, something that Gambhir has been particularly vocal against over the years. With the BCCI having already taken action against certain individuals traveling privately and limiting the amount of time family members can spend with a player on a tour, Gambhir as well as the BCCI have set their sights on another aspect of the perceived superstar culture – picking and choosing matches in the name of workload management. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'There have been discussions and the message will be sent across to the centrally-contracted players, especially those who are all format regulars that this culture of picking and choosing games won't be entertained in near future,' a senior BCCI official privy to current happenings told news agency PTI on conditions of anonymity. 'It doesn't mean that workload management will be thrown out of the window but a more objective approach is expected in near future. Obviously, fast bowlers' workload needs to be managed but it can't be accepted that in the name of workload management, people will miss crucial matches.' Spotlight on Bumrah after workload drama in England? The reported development isn't great news for Bumrah, who looked somewhat off-colour by his own lofty standards even as he finished the fourth-highest wicket-taker with 14 wickets in three matches, including two five-fors. That the pace spearhead sat out of two matches – the second Test at Edgbaston as well as the series finale at The Oval – apparently has not gone down too well with the head coach as well as the board. This despite the fact that it was excessive workload during the two-and-a-half month tour of Australia, where he finished as the leading wicket-taker by a fair distance, that resulted in a back injury and sidelined him for nearly four months. Given his stature as the best bowler across formats in the current generation, the Indian team had been advised to be careful with his workload. Also Read | Gavaskar compares workload debate to jawans at border, drops ODI captaincy hint However, the fact that pace colleague Mohammed Siraj played all five Tests this summer without experiencing a drop in intensity at any given point and finished as the leading wicket-taker (23) has further led to questions over Bumrah and concerns over his workload. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Critics also cited examples of Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant and England captain Ben Stokes playing despite nursing injuries. Additionally, what has also worked against Bumrah in this series is the fact that he did not have any role to play in either of India's victories. While the Shubman Gill-led visitors won both games that the 31-year-old missed, they lost two and drew one in the games that he played, leading to a perception that the team isn't as dependent on him anymore.

'Picked a team not to lose': Former India cricketer questions Gautam Gambhir-Shubman Gill approach despite 2-2 draw in England
NEW DELHI: Former India cricketer has delivered a pointed critique of the team management under head coach and captain , saying the duo took an overly defensive approach during the recently concluded Test series in England, which ended in a 2-2 draw. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While India's young side showed commendable fight to bounce back after trailing 1-2, Karthik suggested the team's composition reflected a fear of losing rather than a hunger to win. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. 'You could almost argue they picked a team not to lose,' Karthik said on Cricbuzz. 'He [Gambhir] is now getting his way, so he will be responsible for everything that happens in the Indian team. If it does well, credit to him. If it doesn't do well, he should put his hands up and say, 'we made a mistake'.' Poll Do you agree with Dinesh Karthik's critique of the Indian cricket team's management? Yes, I fully agree. No, I disagree. Karthik stopped short of blaming captain Shubman Gill, indicating that Gambhir appears to be the primary force behind team decisions. 'He [Gambhir] has taken control of the team I feel. He is the driving force of this team with Shubman,' he remarked. 'The one thing that I feel he can do is almost look at being serious about picking 20 wickets as much as he feels depth in batting is important.' IND vs ENG: Shubman Gill on Oval thriller, Siraj's spell, and missing Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah He added that while Gambhir has a strong track record in white-ball formats, he is still finding his feet in the red-ball arena. 'He's a terrific white-ball coach and the results have been there for us to see. But, in Test cricket, he is also learning on the job.' Under Gambhir's tenure so far, India have suffered a 0-3 whitewash at home to New Zealand — the first in their Test history — and a 1-3 loss in the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now They also failed to reach the World Test Championship final for the first time. Karthik also weighed in on 's workload management and dismissed narratives suggesting India win more without him. IND vs ENG: Mohammed Siraj reflects on memorable win at The Oval 'You have to look at it from Jasprit Bumrah's point of view. I think, these kind of wins, the way the series has panned out, the way the young team has fought, it will actually help him in his career. I believe Jasprit Bumrah will be very proud of this young bowling attack,' he said. 'The stat of India winning when he doesn't play is not his mistake. He is so impactful that others pale in comparison. I hope he will have a longer career, knowing he can pick and choose matches. Two back injuries, one nasty ACL that he had — it's not easy.'

The age of Shubhman Gill is here
Just like Sachin Tendulkar securing his first Test hundred in Old Trafford 25 years ago to herald his arrival at the threshold of greatness; just like Sourav Ganguly furiously waving his shirt from the Lord's balcony in 2002 after a cliff-hanger of a final; or, more momentously, like Kapil Dev's 'devils' raising the World Cup trophy to change the destiny of Indian cricket 42 years ago, a new age in Indian cricket dawned under a brooding English sky. Even though it's a hollow claim to say that the result would taste as sweet as a triumph, the Test series that India drew could become a reference point, a metaphor of India's reemergence, a precursor to better moments, even a watershed event in the country's cricketing history. The team is not flawless, but it has forged an identity, shown spine and steel, a capacity to bite the bullet and an attitude to never surrender. Doubts lingered when India boarded the flight to Heathrow nearly 50 days ago. Gill's captaincy was untested; the batting was callow, the bowling group had injury concerns and ragged edges. Three stalwarts had recently retired and India had lost seven of its last eight games. But in the course of the English summer, the team cleared most of the doubts. Gill has the instincts, wisdom and poise to lead the side. The leadership responsibility elevated his batting too. Among Indian batsmen, only Sunil Gavaskar has scored more runs than Gill's 754 at an average of 75.4 in a single series. Contributions arrived from the two openers too, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal, and the effervescent Rishabh Pant, who captured India's resilience by batting with a broken toe in Old Trafford, besides shellacking a pair of hundreds. Sai Sudharsan illustrated the virtues that could make him an ideal successor to Rahul Dravid and Cheteshwar Pujara at one drop. Ravindra Jadeja, at 36, has light left in him; Washington Sundar could fill the R Ashwin-shaped hole. Mohammed Siraj, with his unshakeable grit and unflinching energy, emphasised that there is life beyond Jasprit Bumrah in the seam-bowling department. There is a fiercely combative coach in Gautam Gambhir. In the end, it was a triumph of collective spirit and individual splendour, blending frictionlessly. The portrait, though, is both incomplete and imperfect. But it's how great teams are forged. It may take months or years. It won't be without fumbles and stumbles. India will have to keep its bowlers optimally fit for the big series, develop depth in the fast bowling department, polish some of the promising youngsters such as Sudharsan, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Anshul Kamboj, upskill some others. Gill, too, could be smarter with his bowling choices — which bowler to use, and when — as well as field placements. The journey will be fascinating, and at times frustrating. But there is boundless optimism as Indian cricket enters a new era. The age of Gill is upon us.
