How can India overcome the loss of Jasprit Bumrah in the T20 World Cup?

I think there is lot of luck involved with the toss especially in Dubai but this WC happening in Aus and given the bigger grounds fielding and running between the wickets are crucial. I am not sure if ICC would go ahead and reduce the boundary length so any mishits would go the long way. But most T20 internationals are played as slog fests so India needs bowlers like Bumrah ofcourse and upcoming bowlers like Arshdeep was still good. Pandya is doing good as well. I believe Ind, Aus, England and Pakistan will reach the finals. But last few years India have been choking and every tournament starts with Ind vs Pak. This is sick in my opinion and done just for the case of money.

Dude, stop writing mega articles instead of comments. Please try to be short and concise.

Yes, we have more bi lateral series win than any other teams, that is fact. We also do not win knock out matches in tournaments. That is also fact. Which makes us bi lateral bullies. I accept your fact. Do you accept the one i said? You should not state facts that only suit your narrative. For Sri Lankan defeat against Afghanistan, thank you for stating the obvious. Any team can win any given day, but any team can not win tournament, specially not world cup. Because it is designed in such a way. Sri Lanka improved leaps and bounds after that defeat. We were one of the team they defeated being the better one by some distance. Also during their win, in final, they won after losing the toss. They did not just win, they dominated it through out. For all unpredictability, the best team in tournament won, as it should. While we keep winning bi lateral series, as we were. I reiterate my point, regardless of any sport or any format, it is not only impossible, it is unpossible for any team to win world cup/big tournament based on lottery/luck. They can have one good day, two lucky day, during the third they will be shown the door. It is not possible to withstand the pressure as well as constant changing of opponent while adapting to their skill set for any ordinary team. Once you win that, it does not matter what you did before, what you believe, you are correct, because result says it so. A world cup , is a world cup. It is the ultimate examination for the ultimate glory. People can spin it all they want, luck of them will run out before they can pass group stage. It does not matter what me or you believed , Sri Lanka won Asia cup being the best of all teams in the end, do you disagree with that?

Your opinion based on facts Facts also says that india wins percentage is better than any teams. So there is no reason you would think india can't win the t20 wc. As for teams on equal footing, would you believed that srilanka would win asia cup after their defeat against Afghanistan. Point is t20s are unpredictable. Any team can win against any team on a given day.

Would you rather have me believing your fairy tales? With a little bit of luck , winning word cup? It is like the situation of people who does not understand math well, tries to convince us we are going to be fifteen/twenty trillion economy by 2040s. To go though all the group stage match, knock out matches against different opponents, it must be some lottery of human history.Luck never makes up for lack of skill sets. Luck gives the little push when there are teams on equal footing on every aspect. There is no question about being optimistic or pessimistic, this is opinion based of past facts. I do not believe in fairy tales. Do you? As for Jasprit, he is the single most valuable asset of our cricket. I am very sure he knows best about himself, but this is not only about him. You know that when you see BCCI president and secretary briefs about him. My concern is about the nature of his injury. Frequent occurrence of back stress means excessive pressure on that area. He barely played in last few months,yet it has happened again after playing only two matches.He may have to re model is bowling action, and that is the most optimistic outcome.

Man, you are so negative. As for world cup win , India can do it with little bit of luck even in absence of bumrah. The team which will win will do so with luck. It doesn't matter how good your team is. As for bumrah, he knows his body better than all experts. Also the kind of self quiet confidence bumrah has , i don't think anyone in india team has that. Stop being so pessimistic. India may win or may not win the world cup. Nowadays t20 world cups are a bit of lottery.

I do not think we were a chance to win world cup even if Jasprit was available. Now i am more worried about his future availability than anything else. Back stress fracture is the toughest injury amongst all. Back to back occurrence of it is as ominous as it could get. Lots of people said it could happen given he uses such short run up for the pace he has as well as for his bowling action. Let us hope it does not dent him much in future. But i have a bad feeling that he may have to remodel his action, or even considering giving up a format in favor of others. He is nearing thirty, at this age occurrence of back stress is very bad news.

Kumar can hit a ball though. I get your overall point, but he still fits the bill.

Players need to stop going to NCA for recovery. It’s becoming a joke at how they’re making minor injuries into major problems. Bhuvi, Wriddhiman Saha, Chakravarthy and now Bumrah. Pandya did his recovery post injury outside of NCA and now he looks much fitter
