Jasprit Bumrah has been India's guiding light in the ongoing Test series against England. The speedster has spearheaded the Indian pace attack in the absence of seasoned campaigner Mohammad Shami.
Bumrah led the Indian fightback in the second Test Visakhapatnam with a nine-wicket haul as the hosts scored a 106-run victory. The speedster had also claimed six wickets in the opening Test in Hyderabad.
He is currently the No 1 bowler in the ICC Men's Test rankings.
Despite the impressive performance, there have been talk about handling his work pressure in the middle of the series, especially since Bumrah has been prone to injuries.
