India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has finally spoken out after a series of dropped catches off his bowling left him visibly frustrated during the ongoing Test series between India and England. In a rare expression of emotion, the usually composed Bumrah admitted he was “disappointed” after multiple fielding errors cost him crucial wickets at key stages of the match.
The first Test match at Headingley, Leeds, saw Bumrah produce a high-quality spell of fast bowling, but several chances went begging as India’s slip cordon failed to support him. Despite his relentless line and length, at least three catches were dropped — including two straightforward chances — leaving Bumrah unrewarded for his efforts.

In a post-day press conference, Bumrah broke his silence, stating:
“Of course I’m disappointed. As a fast bowler, you put in a lot of hard work to create opportunities. When catches go down, it does affect the morale, but we try to stay positive and back our teammates.”
His statement, though mature and composed, clearly reflected a sense of frustration. It’s not the first time Bumrah has been at the receiving end of dropped chances, but the frequency in this match has raised eyebrows among fans and experts alike.

The old cricket adage “catches win matches” continues to prove itself timeless. Jasprit Bumrah, one of the most lethal bowlers in world cricket, relies on consistent support from the field — especially in Test cricket, where every opportunity matters.
Here’s a look at what went wrong:
- In the second session on Day 2, Joe Root edged a length delivery, only for it to be put down by the second slip.
- Shortly after, Ben Stokes survived another edge that flew to the gully region — a sitter dropped under pressure.
- Later in the day, a thick edge from Jonny Bairstow flew to first slip, only to be spilled once again.
All three chances came off Bumrah’s bowling, denying him potential breakthroughs that could have shifted the momentum in India’s favor.

Bumrah’s numbers speak volumes about his consistency and discipline. In the last 12 months, he has been India’s most economical bowler in Tests, while maintaining an impressive average and strike rate across all formats.
His ability to bowl in any condition — swinging it in England, reverse-swinging in India, and bouncing out batters in Australia — makes him a rare asset. But without fielding support, even the best bowlers struggle to make an impact on the scorecard.
Bumrah’s emotional response was rare but understandable. Even the calmest players have their limits when results don’t reflect their effort.
Team India’s Fielding Concerns
India’s slip fielding has been a recurring concern. Since the retirement of sharp catchers like Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman, the team has struggled to find reliable slip fielders.
Fielding coach T. Dilip addressed the issue post-match, saying:
“We’re working on it. The players are aware of the expectations, and we’re putting in the hours. Sometimes pressure and conditions play a role.”
However, repeated lapses in crucial matches could end up costing India games, especially in overseas conditions where chances are hard-earned.
Fans Show Support for Bumrah
Despite the setbacks, fans and cricket experts rallied behind Bumrah on social media, trending hashtags like #JusticeForBumrah and #FieldingFails. Many praised his patience and commitment, calling him the “unsung hero” of the match.
Even former cricketers like Zaheer Khan and Irfan Pathan took to social platforms, empathizing with Bumrah and urging the Indian team to improve its catching standards.
Conclusion
Jasprit Bumrah’s reaction to the dropped catches is a reminder that even world-class players need support from their teammates. While his disappointment is justified, his composure and professionalism in addressing the issue show the maturity of a true team player.
India will need to regroup quickly, fix their fielding issues, and ensure their bowlers are not let down again — especially when bowlers like Bumrah are bending their backs day in and day out.
As the Test series continues, all eyes will be on India’s slip cordon — and whether they can finally give Jasprit Bumrah the support he so rightly deserves.
