5 Indian players who should be protected during IPL 2019

#1 Jasprit Bumrah

Can Bumrah keep himself injury-free?

One player who is responsible for the reincarnation of Indian bowling in the recent past is Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah, who shot to prominence after his stellar performance for Mumbai Indians in the IPL, has become India's go-to bowler in all formats.

He is currently the number one ODI bowler in the World and is in the centre of India's plans for the World Cup. The Indian selectors have done their best to keep Bumrah fresh by resting him time after time. And even though Bumrah has managed to remain fit after the thumb injury that he picked up in Ireland, it is a well-known fact that fast bowlers are more exposed to injuries than the others.

Also, Bumrah is the leader of the Mumbai Indians' bowling-attack and the franchise will want him to play every match during the tournament.

An injury to someone like Bumrah will be a huge setback for team India as Bumrah is irreplaceable in the Indian team right now. Thus, he should be taken special care of in the IPL.
