India can't rely only on Bumrah and Hardik, says Vihari; urges recall of senior bowlers
Former India batter Hanuma Vihari has cautioned the team against leaning too heavily on Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya in bowling, calling the recent loss to West Indies—where India failed to defend 351—a wake-up call.
Vihari urged the Indian cricket board to recall senior pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami to strengthen the bowling attack. He stressed the importance of experienced backup options as the 2027 World Cup approaches, highlighting gaps exposed in the team's current bowling unit.
