IND vs SL: "Jasprit Bumrah Is An Important Asset For Indian Team, His Injury Will Create Problems"- Sourav Ganguly

Indian Cricket Team would be riding high on confidence after defeating Sri Lanka in the 1st ODI. The Men in Blue won the match by 67 runs where the dashing right-handed batter Virat Kohli smashed a fantastic century. Virat looked in sublime touch and scored his consecutive ODI ton.

Sri Lanka would be utterly disappointed with their performance as the batters showed no fight during the run chase. There were huge expectations from Charith Asalanka to play a significant knock but the left-handed batter managed to score 23 runs in 28 balls.

Sourav Ganguly On Jasprit Bumrah

Sourav Ganguly was having an interaction with reporters and was asked about Jasprit Bumrah. “Bumrah is such an important asset of the India team. There will be problems obviously. Fast bowlers will get injured often. You have to wait for him to recover. Fast bowling is not easy.” said Sourav Ganguly.

Steep Road Ahead for Sri Lanka

The island nation needs someone who can provide stability in the middle overs as every time the skipper Dasun Shanaka won’t bail out the team. The decision to open the batting with Avishka Fernando didn’t work well as the batter looked in two minds whether to attack or defend which hurt the team.

It was a collective effort from the Indian batters and we should not forget that the batters were quite keen on rotating the strike. The management would be delighted with the way Rohit Sharma thrashed Lankan bowlers as he showed glimpses of the old Vintage Rohit. It would be interesting to see whether the pitch at Eden Gardens Kolkata offers some assistance to the bowlers or once again it would be a run fest.
