As a cricket fan, I'm always worried about player burnout, especially with the IPL schedule. Glad to see proactive measures being taken. His performance in the T20 WC final was legendary. Protect him at all costs!

Finally some sense! For years we've run our fast bowlers into the ground. The CoE is a great facility. Hope they manage his IPL overs carefully too. MI shouldn't overbowl him just because he's their main weapon.

His action puts so much strain on his body. It's a miracle he's stayed fit this long. All the best to the medical team at NCA. We need a fit Bumrah for the 2027 ODI World Cup too! 🇮🇳

Respectfully, while workload management is crucial, I hope this doesn't become an excuse to rest him for crucial IPL matches. Fans pay to see the stars play. There has to be a balance.

Bumrah in Bengaluru means he's serious about his prep. The England tour will be tough, their conditions are different. He needs to be at 100%. Smart to focus on that already. Jassi, take care! 💙
