Rohit Sharma acknowledged the significant impact Bumrah has had on the series, noting that the opposition's preoccupation with him is a testament to his skill. However, he emphasized that Bumrah cannot continue to carry the bowling attack alone. `Bumrah is certainly making the most of it. Siraj and the other guys who are bowling around him obviously know they need to step up to get the job done as well,` Rohit said.
The Indian team is considering several strategic changes for the upcoming Boxing Day Test in Melbourne, including the possibility of picking two spinners despite the retirement of Ravichandran Ashwin. The searing forecast for Boxing Day could favor this decision, with Washington Sundar shaping up as a key spin option.
On the batting front, Rohit hinted at potential changes, including a possible return to his favoured opening spot, although this is complicated by KL Rahul's strong performance as an opener. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has struggled since his Perth century, has been practicing extensively to regain his form.
Rohit's messaging to his bowlers is clear: `Keep running in hard and keep doing what you've been doing. They've done the job in the past, it's about doing it again now.` He expressed faith in all his bowlers, emphasizing the need to instill confidence in them.
