Mohammad Azharuddin also delivered a bold verdict on the newly appointed Test captain Shubman Gill, who came under the scanner after India's loss to England in the Headingley Test match.
It was expected that he would receive better support from his fellow bowlers in the ongoing England tour, but that wasn't the case in the first Test.
In the second innings, when England were chasing 371 runs, Bumrah, along with Mohammed Siraj, went wicketless and India faced a 5-wicket loss. Prasidh Krishna (2/92), Shardul Thakur (51/2), and Ravindra Jadeja (1/104) were among the wickets in that innings, but lacked the bite needed for the win.
They are too much dependent on Bumrah - Mohammad Azharuddin
Azharuddin backed the inclusion of the star left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the playing XI in the second Test against England at Edgbaston in Birmingham.
Mohammad Azharuddin further blamed the batting collapses for the loss of Team India in the first Test against England.
Notably, India went from 430/3 to 471/10 in the first innings despite having three centurions, and in the second innings, they collapsed from 333/4 to 364/10, falling short of a winning score.
It’s too early to talk about captaincy - Mohammad Azharuddin
“This is his just first match as a captain, you just can’t talk about captaincy, it’s too early to talk about captaincy," he remarked.
