Rohit expects Bumrah and Shami to come out fit from IPL 2025
As the Indian cricket team prepares for a packed schedule, captain Rohit Sharma has expressed hope that his key pacers, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, will be fully fit after the conclusion of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The duo’s fitness is crucial for the team’s success in the upcoming Test series against England in June.
Bumrah and Shami have been India’s most successful fast bowlers in recent years, and their absence would be a significant blow to the team. However, Rohit is optimistic that they will come out of the IPL without any injuries or concerns.
“I hope that these two guys, along with the others, finish the IPL without any concerns. If we have a fully fit team going to England, we’ll have a great series there,” said Rohit in an interview.
The IPL 2025 is expected to be a grueling tournament, with many teams fielding strong squads and a packed schedule. The tournament will run from March to May, leaving little time for the players to rest and recover before the England Tests.
However, Rohit believes that the IPL will be a good opportunity for his players to get some much-needed game time and fine-tune their skills. “The IPL is a great platform for our players to get match practice and to get into the rhythm of playing international cricket,” he said.
The England Tests will be a crucial series for India, as they look to regain the number one spot in the ICC Test rankings. The series will also be a great opportunity for the Indian team to test their skills against one of the top teams in the world.
India’s pace attack has been one of the strongest aspects of the team in recent years, and Bumrah and Shami have been key players in this department. They have taken a significant number of wickets in recent series, and their absence would be felt.
However, Rohit is confident that the team has enough depth to cover for the duo’s absence, if necessary. “We have a strong bench strength, and we have some other bowlers who can fill in the gap if needed,” he said.
The Indian team has a strong squad for the England Tests, with many players in good form. The likes of Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara, and Ajinkya Rahane are all set to feature in the series, and they will be looking to make a big impact.
The England Tests will be a great opportunity for India to show their strength and depth, and Rohit is confident that his team will be up to the task. “We have a great team and we are confident of doing well in the series,” he said.
In conclusion, Rohit’s expectations from Bumrah and Shami’s fitness are high, and the duo will be crucial to India’s success in the England Tests. The IPL 2025 will be a key tournament for the Indian team, and Rohit is hoping that his players will come out of the tournament without any injuries or concerns.
