The top-tier pacer took four wickets in the first innings and a solitary wicket in the second innings. In the process, he also reached the milestone of 400 international wickets. Team India have already taken the first lead in the series with one more game to go. As the hosts gears up for the final Test of the series in Kanpur starting on September 27, Friday, resting Bumrah would be a wise move. It is evident that Jasprit Bumrah puts immense stress on his body owing to his unique action and the pace at which he bowls. Overall, he has already played 6 Tests in this calendar year. Moreover, India has a tightly-packed Test schedule with nine more games lined up. As a result, India needs to be extra cautious in the first place. If he continues to play without breaks, the risk of injury increases which could impact his availability for crucial matches later in the season. Thereby, resting him for the Kanpur Test would not only reduce the stress on his body but would also make sure that he remains fresh for the upcoming three-match home Test series against New Zealand, starting on October 16. Kanpur's pitch is known for offering more assistance to spinners, and the Indian think-tank has the luxury of three quality spinners to choose from. This lets the team management rest the 'Ahmedabad Express' without compromising the balance of the bowling attack. Bringing in Kuldeep Yadav alongside Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja could create a lethal spin trio combination that might work wonders for the final Test. India may be tempted to go with three spinners, and resting Bumrah opens the door to giving another fast bowler a more central role. Besides that, India has some critical series on the horizon, including the highly-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, which is scheduled to start in less than two months. Given the seriousness of this series and the potential impact it will have on India's qualification for the WTC final, it is crucial that the premier pacer is fully fit to turn up for the titanic challenge.
