If you were to ask MS Dhoni which one cricketer from the present unit he would have loved to have had for a large part of his captaincy tenure, he wouldn't have batted an eyelid and stated Jasprit Bumrah, because of his exploits in the death overs, an area where the team bled a lot of runs during his tenure.

Ever since Bumrah has arrived, that's an area where India did not have a lot of headaches to deal with and so when he sustained a freak injury to his finger in the second T20I against Ireland, there were concerned faces all round and when news came that he would not be able to play in the white-ball leg of the tour, Kohli and co. knew they had a troubling scenario at hand.

As it turned, India suffered at various stages during both the series eventually losing the 50-over rubber and now face the prospect of having him back as late as the second Test of the five-match series.
