Protecting Bumrah: Kaushik’s Plan for Preventing Injury and Maximizing Performance

Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness is a key concern as India prepares for a Test series against England. With crucial players unavailable, Bumrah’s role is even more significant. Ashish Kaushik, a former NCA physiotherapist, provides recommendations for the team. He focuses on strengthening bowlers through training and conditioning, ensuring they can sustain performance throughout the innings. The workload should be monitored, taking into account activities beyond bowling. Kaushik points out that a balance is needed and too much or too little bowling can pose a risk. Bumrah has a strong Test record. He has taken 205 wickets in Test cricket with an economy rate of 2.76, showing his importance to the team.
