On social media, Mohammed Kaif had tweeted an analysis of Jasprit Bumrah's bowling routine, as he believes the pacer wants to avoid getting injured again and missing out on key game time.

Kaif added that the unusual pattern could be advantageous for the batters, given that the ICC T20 World Cup is approaching and there would be tougher teams in action.

"Bumrah under Rohit would generally bowl overs 1, 13, 17, 19. Under Surya, in Asia cup, he bowled a three-overs spell at the start. To avoid injury, Bumrah these days, prefers to bowl while his body is warmed up. 1 over of Bumrah in the remaining 14 overs is a huge relief for batters, against stronger teams at World Cup, this could hurt India," Kaif tweeted on 'X'
