Jasprit Bumrah Tunes Out Critics as India Back Workload Plan on West Indies Tour

Teammate Manprit Juneja says the pacer leans on family time to stay mentally strong.

Overview

  • Jasprit Bumrah is currently playing for India in a two-Test series against the West Indies.
  • Coaches, selectors and the BCCI continue to manage his workload after his mid-Test breakdown on the Australia 2024–25 tour.
  • He played three of five Tests in England earlier this year and was rested for the series-decider at The Oval, which India narrowly won.
  • Juneja says online criticism does not unsettle Bumrah, who switches off with family time, pickleball, ten-pin bowling and PlayStation.
  • Comparing him to Roger Federer’s late-career template, Juneja argues a 32-year-old fast bowler may need to pick and choose assignments.
