Depending on the outcome of the second Test match against New Zealand in Pune, India's head coach Gautam Gambhir has stated that the team will only think about resting pacers like Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah, who has participated in three consecutive home Test matches, is a vital part of the Indian speed attack, which has already suffered from the absence of the injured and now-recovering Mohammed Shami.
Gambhir was questioned about Bumrah's workload with five Test matches in Australia still to come. "We still have about 10 or 12 days before the Test starts in Australia after the series is over," he stated. That should give our fast bowlers enough time off as well. However, we will continue to keep an eye on Jasprit Bumrah's whereabouts beyond this Test match.
But it's about all the fast bowlers, not just Jasprit Bumrah," he continued. We wish to maintain their freshness. We are aware that our visit of Australia is both lengthy and significant. However, how much they bowled in this Test match and the result of the match will undoubtedly affect workload management.
The fitness clearances for Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill, who will both be taking wickets, have given India a boost going into the Pune Test match, Gambhir affirmed.
Shubhman Gill sustained an injury during the most recent game. Not because he didn't join the team. Due to the injury, he was unable to participate in the most recent game. His neck was where it began. Given his performance against Bangladesh, it is certain that he will return to the starting lineup. The rest of the playing XI is still up in the air. Tomorrow morning, we will view the playing XI and make our decision regarding the lineup. Whatever combination we ultimately decide on, we will do so in order to win this test match," Gambhir stated.
On a drier Pune surface, conditions should be more favorable for the spinners. Prior to the Test, the city has experienced some rain, but the temperature has been generally higher. India made a mistake when they made a decision about the circumstances in Bengaluru. Gambhir chose to downplay it as he traveled to Pune.
Nobody in the world, in my opinion, can foretell how the wicket will act. To tell the truth, nobody can.
Yes, we have the impression that the wicket will be like any other Indian pitch. Both our bowlers and our hitters are backed to perform well and score runs on this wicket. In my opinion, however, we cannot foresee the wicket's behavior until the game has begun.
We can't expect to make any predictions till both teams haven't batted on this wicket, he added.
