Former RCB cricketer Murali Kartik slammed Team India’s bowlers after the second day of the fourth Test against England as well. Kartik opined on Jasprit Bumrah as well. Bumrah remained wicketless on the second day where India were bowled out for 358 in their first innings.

“When India came to bowl the sun was out. So what? Indian bowlers have bowled and done very well in hotter conditions. They were very inconsistent with their lines today. Even with Bumrah, there was not that sharpness that we usually see, but despite that he sas economical. But look at the economies of other bowlers. This is not okay given the conditions,” he said on Cricbuzz.

“The wickets had been flat till on now in this series. But in this match, I thought today there was the most swing, swing and seam. And on that day if the fast bowlers do not bowl properly it can get very tough. When Bumrah is bowling from one end, why is there no support act from the other? This will not work. All the bowlers should be disappointed with themselves. India will have to think about this,” he further added.

Murali Kartik was also surprised by the fact that Washington Sundar did not bowl at all on the second day as well. Sundar bowled well in the last Test at Lord’s, picking up four wickets in the second innings as well.

“Washington Sundar bowled really well in the last match. I thought after that the captain would have more faith in him. But England are close to 250 and Washington has not even bowled yet. I am surprised by this. Can Shubman Gill show some more faith on Sundar? I feel after his performance at Lord’s showing faith in him is justified now. He is a bowler who is economical and picks wickets as well. He is a team man and it is important to give him chances,” he concluded.
