Hope Bumrah, Shami Finish IPL Well & We’ve a Fit Team vs Eng: Rohit
As India prepares to take on England in a five-match Test series starting June 20, captain Rohit Sharma has expressed his hope that pace bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami can finish the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 “really well, without any concerns”. Both Bumrah and Shami are key members of the Indian bowling attack and have been in top form in recent times.
Bumrah, who plays for the Mumbai Indians, has been one of the most consistent bowlers in the IPL, taking 14 wickets in 10 matches so far. Shami, who represents the Sunrisers Hyderabad, has also been impressive, scalping 12 wickets in 9 matches.
Rohit’s comments come as a relief for Indian cricket fans, who were concerned about the fitness of their star players heading into the Test series against England. The Indian captain wants to see his bowlers complete the IPL without any injuries or concerns, which would give him a full-strength team to choose from for the England series.
“We hope Jasprit and Shami finish their IPL really well, without any concerns,” Rohit said in a recent interview. “Then we’ll have a full, fit team going to England, and then obviously we’ll have a great series there.”
The Indian team has been working hard to prepare for the England series, with Rohit and his team having a three-week training camp in the UK before the start of the series. The captain has also been focusing on his own fitness, having recently taken a break from the IPL to work on his conditioning.
Rohit’s comments have also raised hopes that India’s batting line-up, which has been struggling for form in recent times, will be able to find some consistency in the England series. The Indian captain has been working hard to improve his own batting, and has been encouraging his teammates to do the same.
“We’ve been working on our batting really hard, and I think we’re getting there,” Rohit said. “We’ve got a good mix of experienced players and young players, and we’re confident that we can do well in England.”
The England series is a crucial one for India, who are looking to bounce back from a disappointing Test series against Australia earlier this year. India has a strong record in England, having won several series in the past, but the team knows that it will face a tough challenge from a strong England team.
The English team has been building momentum in recent times, having recently beaten Pakistan in a Test series and having a strong squad with players like Joe Root, Ben Stokes, and James Anderson. India will need to be at its best if it wants to come out on top in the series.
In conclusion, Rohit’s comments are a welcome sign for Indian cricket fans, who are eager to see their team perform well in the England series. With a full-strength team and a well-prepared batting line-up, India has a good chance of doing well in the series. The team will need to work hard to prepare for the challenge ahead, but with Rohit at the helm, India fans can be confident that their team will give it its all.
