He probably won't finish near the top of the wicket-takers list in Tests (based on matches he'll likely play) but the generation that got to see Jasprit Bumrah bowl with the red ball can count ourselves blessed for witnessing his genius. The sheer thrill!

Before his many wins of the last few months, in a match he lost by a solid margin, with the scoreboard well in favour of Viktor bhai, Lakshya Sen produced this moment in Bali. Sometimes it is an obscure little moment that sums up what a player is about.

I am confused. If Bumrah is not playing, wouldn't it make more sense to at least play Deepak Chahar who is in the reserves for World Cup instead of Umesh Yadav who is not in the 19? Or just play Ashwin? What's the point of playing someone in the XI not in the WC scheme at all.
