Bumrah was also rested in the second Test against England. Pathan said that Bumrah is being left out when players like Ben Stokes are bowling, batting and fielding consistently. Stokes, aiming for victory on the final day, bowled 9.2 overs in the first spell and 10 overs in the next spell. On the other hand, Pathan also criticized Gambhir and Gill for their approach of making Bumrah bowl only 5 overs and waiting for Root to come down.
