ভারত বনাম শ্রীলঙ্কা: "জসপ্রীত বুমরাহ ভারতীয় দলের জন্য একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ সম্পদ, তার চোট সমস্যা তৈরি করবে", সৌরভ গাঙ্গুলি

IND VS SL: After winning the first ODI against Sri Lanka, the Indian cricket team would be feeling confident. Virat Kohli, the swashbuckling right-handed batsman, scored an incredible century as the Men in Blue defeated the opposition by a score of 67 runs. Virat notched his second straight ODI century while playing flawlessly.

Due to the batsmen’s lack of effort during the run chase, Sri Lanka would be quite displeased with their performance. Charith Asalanka was expected to play a substantial knock. But the left-handed hitter only managed to score 23 runs in 28 balls despite the high expectations.

IND VS SL: “You Have To Wait”: Sourav Ganguly

The island nation needs a middle-overs stabilizer because captain Dasun Shanaka consistently fails to save the team. The team suffered as a result of the decision to start the batting with Avishka Fernando. Since the batter appeared to be unsure of whether to attack or protect. The Indian batters worked together to make it happen. And we shouldn’t forget that they were very interested in rotating the strike.

The way Rohit Sharma destroyed Lankan bowlers and displayed flashes of his vintage Rohit would have delighted the management. It will be intriguing to see if the surface at Eden Gardens Kolkata helps the bowlers or if it turns into another run-fest. Since a three-match series against Australia in September 2022, Bumrah has not competed for India.

In spite of missing the Asia Cup last year due to injury. He played against Australia before the T20 World Cup. However, his back problem flared up once more, and he was also disqualified from the T20 World Cup. Notably, during the BCCI’s New Year review meeting, the management of Bumrah’s injury was covered.

IND VS SL: Indian Bowling Attack

In the first ODI against Sri Lanka, Indian bowlers, particularly pacers Mohammed Siraj and Umran Malik, got off to a strong start while holding the opposition to 373 runs. But fell short of claiming all 10 as Sri Lanka crossed the 300-mark with captain Dasun Shanaka’s outstanding century. Indian bowlers have performed admirably without Bumrah, but the team needs the seasoned pacer if they are to win the World Cup at home.

Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik, Harshal Patel, and other young people have a tremendous opportunity to demonstrate their talent on the world stage while Bumrah is out of commission.
