Jasprit Bumrah leads the Indian bowling, he has the power to change the course of the match on his own. Former cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has given a warning to the Indian team. He believes that after Ashwin’s retirement, Team India will face difficulties. The former cricketer feels that batting is fine, but bowling may seem less attractive to the next generation. Speaking on Revsportz, Ashwin said, ‘There is no match for the quality of batsmen we have in white ball cricket. Team India will win many white ball trophies in the next 10 years, and it will be because of our batting.

However, he expressed concern over Jasprit Bumrah. He said, ‘Jasprit Bumrah’s role is important in this white ball team, what will happen after him?’ Ashwin believes that undoubtedly bowlers make the team win matches, but the youth may have less attraction to become bowlers in the future.

Ashwin said, ‘I am worried that bowling is no longer as attractive as batting, which is why children may not take up this game. By sports I mean batting and bowling, different sports. Bowling as a sport is not attractive, it feels like you are being entertained. Giving him a chance to hit sixes and fours. So why would anyone want to think that bowling will help us win the tournament or series.

Regarding the atmosphere in the dressing room, Ashwin said that Indian cricket is not about a few selected people, but more than that. He also supported Gautam Gambhir’s approach, because he puts the team above individual players.

Ashwin said, ‘I like Gautam Gambhir. People may have different opinions towards him, but he is a person who puts the team above individual players. He gives credit for the victory to the entire team instead of any one player. I like this thing about him.
