Jasprit Bumrah’s Batting Slump: Six Ducks in Seven Innings Raise Concerns at Lord’s

India’s star bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, is facing a challenging period with the bat, having recorded six ducks in his last seven innings. This unfortunate streak is exacerbating India’s lower-order vulnerabilities, particularly in closely fought matches like the ongoing Lord’s Test.

Bumrah’s Batting Form Overshadows Bowling Prowess

While Bumrah’s bowling remains a force to be reckoned with, his recent batting performances have become a growing concern. The string of ducks against England highlights a lack of resistance from the tail-end, putting extra pressure on the top and middle order.

Impact on India’s Lower Order Stability

The lack of runs from the lower order can be crucial, especially in tight Test matches. In the current Lord’s Test, where India matched England’s first innings total, a few extra runs from the tail could have made a significant difference. Bumrah’s batting struggles add to this vulnerability, potentially impacting India’s chances in crucial moments.
