Parthiv Patel Urges One Key Change for India's 2nd T20 WC Match
- •Former India wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel suggests Jasprit Bumrah should replace Mohammed Siraj for India's second T20 World Cup match against Namibia.
- •Bumrah missed the first match due to illness but is expected to return after a ten-day hiatus, as confirmed by assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate.
- •Siraj, despite taking three wickets against the USA, is likely to make way for Bumrah if he is fit, as Bumrah is a regular in India's main playing eleven.
- •Patel noted Siraj's strong performance was fueled by a desire to prove himself after Harshit Rana was initially preferred.
- •Siraj's effective length deliveries (6-8 meters) in the first match created problems for batters, showcasing his adaptability.
