Jasprit Bumrah is on the verge of getting\u00a0ruled out of the T20 World Cup on Thursday due to a \u201cback stress fracture,\u201d a situation that alarmed the Indian cricket community. Bumrah, who is regarded as one of the most dangerous bowlers in contemporary cricket, has been the Indian team\u2019s top pacer in recent years. His absence from the World Cup in Australia, where the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team is already without Ravindra Jadeja, would be a serious blow to their chances.<\/p>\n
Wasim Jaffer, the\u00a0former Indian batter, was questioned on ESPNCricinfo on if a break may impair a fast bowler\u2019s rhythm and make him injury prone after the extended break and the injury to Bumrah. Jaffer recalled his conversation with former India bowler Zaheer Khan in his reply.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbsolutely. I\u2019ve spoken to Zaheer as I\u2019m pretty close to him. When he played for Worcestershire, he played literally four months of non-stop cricket. That\u2019s how Zaheer Khan\u2019s resurgence happened, post the 2006 season. That\u2019s what he told me, if he plays consistently and bowls a lot of overs, he feels in rhythm and his body feels good. The moment he feels there\u2019s a break, it takes him a while to get back to shape again,\u201d Jaffer said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost bowlers want it that way. If they are on the field, they are playing, there are raring to go. The moment a break happens, you have to start over. That\u2019s why, I\u2019m pretty sure Bumrah probably pushed himself to be ready for the T20 World Cup,\u201d said the former India opener.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
