The Indian cricket team had to face a crushing defeat against New Zealand. The Indian team has suffered a severe blow due to the defeat by 8 wickets in the first Test match of the 3-match Test series and in the meantime, the former Pakistani cricketer has rubbed salt on the wounds of Team India. A statement by former Pakistan team player Basit Ali has exposed the shortcomings of the Indian team. Who bluntly said that Bumrah would need a good partner.
Basit Ali said- Bumrah needs a good partner
Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali while talking on his YouTube channel said, “The eight over spell that Bumrah bowled in the second innings against New Zealand, He reminded me of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis. But India will have to keep in mind that Bumrah will need two fast bowlers with him in Australia. Bumrah does not have any good fast bowling partner.“
It is clear from this statement of Basit Ali that he has exposed the shortcomings of the Indian cricket team. At present, bowlers like Mohammad Siraj and Akash Deep are playing in Team India, but the return of Mohammad Shami has become very important to support Bumrah.
Team India's batting is good but it is important for Shami to be fit.
Basit Ali said about Shami that, “Mohammed Shami's fitness before the Australia tour will be important for India. The team's batting is looking fine. Rohit Sharma hit fifty, While Virat Kohli scored 70 runs. This is a good sign for the team. Sarfaraz Khan scored 150 runs and performed brilliantly. Rishabh Pant is already a good Test player.“
