India’s biggest hope in English conditions
Jasprit Bumrah’s track record in England is nothing short of outstanding. In 9 Tests in England from 2018 to 2022, Bumrah picked up 37 wickets at an average of 26.27, including a memorable 9-wicket haul at The Oval.
Overall against England, he has 60 wickets in 14 Tests at a brilliant average of 22.16, showcasing his dominance both home and away.
His ability to swing the ball conventionally and reverse it later in the innings makes him a rare match-winner. Whether it’s the new ball in overcast conditions or the old ball on flat pitches, Bumrah’s skill set is tailor-made for English surfaces. India will rely on him heavily to provide early breakthroughs and deliver match-turning spells in the middle overs.
India vs England Test series 2025: Bumrah holds the key
India’s young batting lineup may face stern tests against England’s experienced pace attack and swinging conditions.
In such a scenario, Jasprit Bumrah’s spells could dictate the direction of the series. With Tests scheduled at venues like Lord’s, The Oval, and Edgbaston, where Bumrah has previously excelled, India’s hopes of a historic series win will rest squarely on his shoulders.
