Before the England series began, head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill stated that Bumrah would feature in only three of the five matches. The decision was made to manage his workload and reduce the risk of a recurrence of the injury he sustained during the Australia tour earlier this year.
However, the BCCI provided an update during the match, which sparked speculation. Critics questioned why a key player was sent home mid-Test after being rested, especially when his experience could have been valuable in the dressing room.
