The psychological impact of the rhythm head of India, Jasprit Bumrah, was evident even in the historical persecution of England in the Headingley test last week. Jamie Smith, who made more 40 contributions in both tickets, admitted that facing Bumrah, potentially with the second new ball, was a great concern. Recently, he revealed how a possible Bumrah spell with the second new ball influenced his decision to launch an attack against Ravindra Jadeja on day 5.

“The races at that point [when Smith decided to go after Jadeja] They were not too many, so I didn’t expect it [Bumrah] To come and play [with the new ball]But you are never very sure, especially in the Cricket. You don’t know what will happen. Always support the tail, but there could be a couple of decent balls, and suddenly you have eight and the pressure again in you, “said Jamie Smith in Espncricinfo.

Jamie Smith about the fear of Jasprit Bumrah

When leaving the number 7, Jamie Smith broke 44 races of 55 balls with four limits and a couple of six. SMASHED runs 17 against Jadeja, which includes two four and six. By the time the second new ball was available, England had almost finished the game. As a result, Jamie did not face Bumrah in the second tickets.

“It was good to do it and move on. I knew that a new ball was coming, and it seems that he had exposed Chris Woakes [at No. 8] But, at that time, if I had hit another six of six in that, you are taking all the impulse in the new ball. The second new ball can bring wickts, but it can also increase the score rate. There is always some thought calculated behind him, ”added Smith.

Uncertainty about the participation of Jasprit Bumrah in the Birmingham test

Jasprit Bumrah is up to expectations as he always does. His history, especially in England, says a lot, after having claimed 42 Wickts in just 10 exits to an average of 26.27. Now he leads the counting of most WICKETS (150) in SENA countries by subcontinent pacemakers in the tests. He surpassed people like Wasim Akram (146) and Mohammad Asif (79) from Pakistan.

However, Bumrah will participate in only two of the remaining four tests due to the management of the workload. Having launched most overs (44) among Indian pacemakers, there are questions about their participation in the Edgbaston test, a place where India has not yet won a test.

The right arm pacemaker was used in excess during the Border-Gavavar trophy (BGT) 2025. He blocked 151.2 overs in nine entries, mostly by an Indian bowling player of the series. He led him to suffer a lower back injury related to stress during the Sydney test. The injury kept him away from the game for almost three months. He returned to the competitive Cricket in the middle of India Premier League (IPL) 2025 and played 12 games for the Mumbai Indians.
