Within minutes of India’s 157-run victory against England in the fourth Test at The Oval, former England bowler Chris Tremlett was embroiled in a controversy over off-spinner R Ashwin’s ouster and said that when Jasprit Bumrah was in the Indian team If so, who needed them then?
Chris Tremlett (@ChrisTremlett33) tweeted, “Who needs Ashwin when he is a Bumrah. What a bowler and India played well. Serious bowling performance. Bumrah and Umesh Yadav reverse swing India to 368 runs to England Chasing the target, he was bundled out for 210 runs.
