Since Jasprit Bumrah returned to international cricket after 11 months of retrenchment after surgery back on August 18, 2023, he bowled in T20Is in 37.4 overs, 437.2 overs and Odis in 128.5 overs. Add its IPL workload, and it comes in 2024 in 99.1 overs and 2025 editions of the T20 League.This is 703 overs.Let’s tell it again. Bumrah hopped, left, went to his mark, sprinkled on the last stretch, jumped right behind the popping crease, landed with a completely hanging knee on his left leg, and offered his unique action and a logic with a wrist snap, 145 km in 22 months, 145 km, 4218 times in 22 months. Certainly, more than half of those 4218 bowling are the moments of the clutch for the crease.
Why are we discussing this?
Since Bumrah was rested for the second Test in Edgbaston, which India won by 336 runs last week, to prepare for the third Test at Lord’s, due to the previous history of pacers with injuries, cited the workload management, an aviation of criticism came in the direction of the Indian team think because the previous test was lost in India. There was also an eight-day difference between the first and second tests.The decision to play Bumrah for only three out of five tests has already not gone down well with some stallvarts of the game. But the team management has history.Bumrah broke the famous manner in Australia during the fifth and last test in Sydney and a major reason for his back injury was attributed to India to bowl in dust, especially in the fourth test in Melbourne when he sent 53.2 overs. In the second excavation, his 24.4 overs were given in nine mantras, at the end of which his tired argument, to skipper Rohit Sharma, while panting and his hands on his knees, “bass. Now and Nahi Lag Raha Lust,” has become a viral material.Critics of Facilitation Management Great all-rounder Kapil Dev giving 1704 balls in five trials at the end of his career, at the end of his career, playing all the games of the Tri-series, playing all the games of sandwiches amidst the test, and still not broken down.During the commentary, the great Sunil Gavaskar of East India criticized the workload management theory and said that modern players spend more time in the gymnasium. Citing the example of Kapil Dev, Gavaskar said, “Kapil was rarely in the gym. He used to run around and then bowled for six or seven batsmen in the trap. Then he batted himself and then bowled for some batsmen. He was doing the need for his profession, which was the need for his profession, and bowls. His bowling muscles and his entire body were used to bowl. ,However, Kapil Dev always benefited from a four-month long off-season from May to September. For today’s cricketers, the four-month off-season is a luxury as cricket has become a 12-month game. When not joining with international matches, they play in the money-stating T20 franchise league. The IPL in itself extends for 10 weeks and although a bowler usually bowls four overs in these games, it cannot be judged by reducing the amount of tension on the body, late elimination and constant journey.Armed for social media armed with armed anger, providing an outlet to users, broadcasting users and uploaded to Bumrah’s shots, sitting with a yellow vest in the pavilion, interacting with Kuldeep Yadav, and smiling. In a single feed, uploading videos of swipe generation, Australian captain and pacer Pat Cummins, defying everything to draw one hand, and bowling in the second Test to the bowler bowling in the bowler to dismiss everything and dismiss the West Indies batter KC Katy, “No workload management here?”The question is not without merit.During the same period, when Bumrah returned from surgery, Cummins bowled 604.2 overs in forms for Australia and 110.4 overs for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL. This is 705 overs. All as captains.Cummins, 32, is one year older than Bumrah and after 2017, has not suffered major injuries. From the beginning of 18 years in 2011 to 2017, he faced six back stress fractures.Of course, today, he has the support of world -class operators such as Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood.
Is Bumrah near Bumrah?
Stark, which is due to playing his 100th Test in Jamaica next week, has also caressed a heavy work burden. The Left-Arm has bowled 618.1 overs in Australia and IPL, representing Kolkata Knight Riders (2024) and Delhi Capital (2025), bowling 77.5 overs. This is 696 over high intensity bowling.

Who believe that you have been more effective in managing your charge since August 2023?
Are we forget about a bowler in all the chatters around Bumrah’s workload, who has removed his heart and has gone tirelessly, after the lung choli, without a broken spell?Since Bumrah’s return in August 2023, Mohammad Siraj has bowled 579.5 overs in 45 Tests, Odis and T20I. In two IPL sessions in 2024 and 2025, he bowled 111 overs for RCB and Gujarat Titans respectively. This is a shocking 680.5 overs. Rarely he has investigated the Center for Excellence in Bengaluru for rehabilitation.If we examine the 19 tests of 19 tests, Indian pacers have played since August 2023, pacers have bowled 1186.3 overs in them. Of that, Bumrah and Siraj have bowled 848.2 overs simultaneously. This is 71.49 percent of the charge on only two bowlers.
How long can it continue?
The supply line of cricketers in white-ball cricket seems endless. This is the format of the red ball that is crying for meditation. India has so far been lucky not to lose Sirj for injury. But careful analysis of overs and the efforts he makes shows that India can bring its luck far away.More than the workload, which is affecting both Bumrah and Siraj, lack of powerful support.
