Switchblade Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Quote https://www.crictracker.com/we-are-too-dependent-on-bhuvneshwar-kumar-and-jasprit-bumrah-in-odis-vvs-laxman/ VVS Laxman apprehensive But while the Indian pacers are making all the right noises, former India batsman VVS Laxman is apprehensive about the bowling line-up in ODIs. The legendary batsman feels that India are too dependent on Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar. “We have a settled batting unit, but I am not too sure on the bowling front,” he told The Times of India. “I am happy with the bowlers’ recent show with the red cherry, but as for white-ball cricket I feel they are still not ready, mainly in the pace bowling department,” Laxman added. “We have good spinners in (Yuzvendra) Chahal and Kuldeep (Yadav), but we are too dependent on Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar) and (Jasprit) Bumrah in ODIs. Whenever these two have been injured, the team has suffered.” Bhuvneshwar and Bumrah have become the lynchpin of India’s bowling attack in limited-overs cricket. The two have played 30 ODIs together so far in which Bumrah has returned 49 wickets at 24.16 while Bhuvneshwar has 34 wickets at an average of 36.70. In fact, India have lost just one ODI series in their last 11 assignments. The defeat came in England this year. Interestingly, Bumrah missed the assignment with an injury while Bhuvneshwar played just one game. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Nikola Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Laxman is just biased for SRH players. He used to do same for Shikhar Dhawan too now will be fun since he left SRH to see if he keeps being biased for him. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Stats are worse against good teams and even ER is 6. In addition, selectors keep picking mediocre bowlers like shardul, chahar, kaul.

Shami doesnt seem to be part of ODI setup. Seriously, bhuvi? He is only surviving because he bowls exceedingly well in death in IPL and only occasionally in Internationals. Good for t20. Need to move on from him in ODIs and tests. Link to comment

Stan AF Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Actually it is Kuldeep Bumrah Chahal and then the others. Bhuvi would have been dropped in any other team. Stop this SRH ching chak, VVS. Its blatantly obvious. Link to comment
