Former India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey opined that vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah may not play all five Test matches against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. "It's extremely hard on his body...You'll have to give him a break," he added. Mhambrey stated that the "challenge" will be deciding which Test Bumrah should rest, adding, "It depends on the way the series stands."
