Champions like Kohli, Bumrah bounce back faster: Kapil Dev

TIL Desk Sports/ Former India captain Kapil Dev said that he is not worried about the lean patch that fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and Indian captain Virat Kohli are currently going through. Bumrah recently went wicketless in India”s ODI series against New Zealand and in the subsequent first Test, he took one wicket and conceded 88 runs.

Kohli on the other hand has gone past 50 just once in the New Zealand tour and was dismissed for 2 and 19 in the first Test in Wellington that India went on to lose by 10 wickets. “He is a great player and great players come back much stronger than normal players do,” Kapil said on the sidelines of an event organised by IT giant HCL. “He will bounce back, I have no doubt. He still has lots of good cricket in him.”

In the case of Bumrah, Kapil said: “Once you get an injury it takes time for the body to recover completely. He is a very fine bowler and he proved it before. A person who has proven himself at that level. As batsmen we say you need one innings to come back to form and you need one good spell for a bowler. I am a positive person and always think that he needs one or two wickets to get back. Players like him and Virat Kohli they are champions and they bounce back faster.”
