Sourav Ganguly said that the fitness of the pacer spearhead Jasprit Bumrah will decide the outcome for the India National Cricket Team in the high-voltage Test series on English soil.
The premier pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, has officially been blocked by the BCCI medical team from playing all five Test matches in the series against the England National Cricket Team.
Bumrah worked hard and achieved full fitness to make a brilliant contribution with the ball for the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League 2025, but he has advised against playing all five Test matches in England.
If Bumrah stays fit even for four tests, will win this series - Sourav Ganguly
Speaking to Boria Majumdar on RevSportz, Sourav Ganguly said that India can win the series in England even in the absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma if Bumrah and the batting line-up fire. He said:
"Absolutely. Very inexperienced batting line-up at the moment on paper. Obviously, on field, it’s different. With [Joe] Root, [Harry] Brook, [Ben] Stokes, [Ben] Duckett, Jamie Smith and Brydon Carse, it’s a good Test team. But still, nothing stops India from winning. There is no one favourite in sports. India, if they work hard and Bumrah stays fit even for four tests, will win this series," he added.
You’ve got to look out for him and not make him bowl more than 12-13 overs - Sourav Ganguly
"You’ve got to look out for him and not make him bowl more than 12-13 overs. I believe four fast bowlers are important. Here, others will have to be the warhorses like Siraj, Arshdeep. Not sure about a Nitish or a Shardul Thakur. Maybe they can get some runs with the bat, but I think India need to back the seven batters and then back the bowlers, because we need 20 wickets to win Test matches."
"I consider England favourites, but then I don’t believe in favourites. If India bat well, they have a chance."
