Irfan Pathan, commentating in the IND vs SA ODI Series, 2022, said, “I would have given the opportunity to the famous Krishna instead of Bumrah. He is tall and bowls fast. In IPL 2022, he was bowling at a speed of 148 kmph. But, maybe the team management is not thinking towards them. Mohammed Shami will have to prove his fitness. He hasn’t played a match recently. In such a situation, Deepak Chahar can also get a chance. They can trouble the batsmen in Australia with swing bowling.”
