Aakash Chopra backs Bumrah workload management, says India can cope

Aakash Chopra backs Bumrah workload management, says India can cope

Jasprit Bumrah is one of the best fast bowlers in cricket, and he is very important to India's team.

But Bumrah has a knee injury that keeps coming back, and it got worse while he was playing against England.

Because of this, he will not play in the Test matches against Sri Lanka.

Some people think that if a player is fit, he should always play.

Aakash Chopra, a former cricket player, disagrees.

He says Bumrah is a genius and his body needs rest sometimes.

Chopra believes India should protect Bumrah for a long time instead of taking risks.

He also says India can still play well without Bumrah.

Bumrah is now in Bengaluru to get better at a special centre.

Another player named Auqib Nabi will take his place.

Bumrah had also hurt his back before while playing in Australia.

Taking care of Bumrah now might help him play for many more years.
