India will be turning up against England for the first ODI match on Tuesday, and Dinesh Karthik believes that Jasprit Bumrah will be missing the second ODI, which is scheduled on Thursday, July 16, due to workload management.
Dinesh Karthik said, "With Bumrah back, India will fancy a strong ODI series. He should ideally play all three ODIs and that will be a check for his body as well. Though I won't be surprised if he just plays on the 14th and 19th and gives a skip on 16th if he's body is not completely ready."
When did Jasprit Bumrah last play an ODI?
Bumrah's return is a positive sign for the side, as he was rested deliberately as part of a workload management strategy by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), aiming to keep him fresh for Test cricket and prepare him for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
The speedster returns alongside Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, marking the end of a 968-day gap since the iconic trio last played together in the 50-over format. Karthik also spoke about Rohit and Kohli in the video.

"Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will surely have their last-ever stint in England in this series. The 2027 World Cup will be the last tournament they play in the Blues for India. But with these two, India will definitely have better adaptability during the ODI series, something that was missing in the T20Is," said Karthik
Virat Kohli missed the last ODI series against Afghanistan due to a hamstring injury he picked during the IPL 2026 final. Rohit Sharma played the series and managed to score a half-century and looked in good touch.
