The third Test between india and england took place at Lord's in London. indian fast bowler bumrah, who tackled the england bowling on the fifth day of the match, faced 54 balls (5 runs). Regarding this, former indian team player mohammad kaif said: bumrah performed well as a batter in the last over of the Lord's Test. Against him, England's fast bowlers Archer and stokes took turns bowling as bouncers. If he were not out, they would bowl in a way that would injure Bumrah's fingers and shoulders. 'Both of them had the intention of hurting bumrah, the main bowler of the opposition,' at any cost. That is why they bowled like that. He said this.
It was former india cricketer mohammad kaif who stirred the pot after the third Test at Lord’s, claiming: “Ben stokes and Jofra Archer bowled bouncers with a plan against Jasprit Bumrah. If bumrah doesn't get out, hit him on… finger or shoulder to injure him.” In other words, Kaif alleges the strategy wasn’t just aggression—it reportedly edged into targeted physical play aimed at preventing bumrah from bowling effectively. The goal, he suggested, was to either dismiss him early or incapacitate him physically.
