During a conversation on the Beyond 23 Podcast with former Australian captain Michael Clarke, indian cricketer jasprit bumrah emphasized the need for players to be strategic and mindful in managing their physical exertion. He highlighted the challenge of maintaining peak intensity over an extended period, noting the importance of prioritizing key tournaments.
Bumrah explained, "No one can sustain playing every match at full tilt for a long time. I’ve been doing it for some time now, but you eventually need to assess your body’s limits and identify the crucial competitions. This means being selective and smart about how you exert yourself. As a cricketer, I never want to sit out, but you have to make those tough calls to keep going effectively."
"I am fine right now. However, I don't have objectives like "this is the number I should be at." I take each day as it comes. The journey is going well so far, but the day I realize that the drive is gone or the effort is not there or my body is not holding up, that is the time when you make the decision."
Bumrah had issues with his back problem during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in australia and had to miss the crucial part of the final Test in Sydney. While bumrah made his mark on the five-match series with an outstanding performance, india ended up losing the series 1-3.
