Bumrah to lead India in Edgbaston Test
Along with Rohit, India’s top run-getter in those four games, Bumrah was a big performer, picking up 18 wickets in seven bowling innings at an average of 20.83. A year on, Bumrah has more experience and was also appointed as India’s vice-captain for their previous Test series, at home in March against Sri Lanka. Bumrah had said then that he wouldn’t shy away if the opportunity to lead India came his way. That has come, perhaps sooner – and in somewhat unfortunate circumstances – than he would have expected or wanted.
Question marks over Rohit’s participation in the game surfaced as soon as he tested positive for Covid-19 on the second day of India’s warm-up game in Leicester last week. After serving a five-day isolation, Rohit returned positive tests twice on Wednesday and again on Thursday morning, roughly 24 hours before the Test.
