I called the BCCI and said I don’t want to be looked at in a leadership role: Bumrah
Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah admitted that he was considered for the leadership role but gave up the opportunity as part of his workload management.
Star Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah shone on his return for India as he returned with figures of 4/35 in the third One Day International match against the West Indies played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune.
It was also Jasprit Bumrah’s best bowling performance in the limited overs games in 2018. Bumrah also received full support from the fielders as MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma pulled off two brilliant catches off his bowling. Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling performance against the West Indies on Saturday was also the third-best by an Indian pacer against the Caribbean outfit.

Now, Jasprit Bumrah is only behind Pakistan’s Hasan Ali.
