South African legend AB de Villiers predicted India pacer Jasprit Bumrah won't play every Asia Cup 2025 game due to workload management, despite his inclusion in the squad. De Villiers supported selectors' proactive approach to protect senior players like Bumrah, emphasising the importance of managing workload to get the best performance.

Ravi Shastri suggests India may need to reconsider resting Jasprit Bumrah if they fall 2-0 behind England in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series, despite workload management plans. Shastri highlighted the team's disappointing loss at Headingley and emphasized the need for greater resilience from the lower order.

Following India's five-wicket loss to England in the first Test, former Australian player Brad Haddin urges captain Shubman Gill to improve the team's fielding attitude. Haddin links poor catching to the IPL and emphasizes that fielding excellence requires commitment. India dropped eight catches, costing them dearly, especially with Ben Duckett's match-winning performance.

Despite Jasprit Bumrah's five-wicket haul in the first innings, India faced a five-wicket defeat against England in the first Test at Headingley. Off-field, a pre-marriage anecdote shared by his wife, Sanjana Ganesan, on 'Who's The Boss' added a light-hearted touch.

Shubman Gill aimed to be the series' top scorer and scored a century on his captaincy debut. However, India lost the first Test against England. While his batting wasn't affected, his leadership is developing. Coach Gautam Gambhir supports Gill. Ravichandran Ashwin suggested using Shardul Thakur earlier. Gill remained composed, but his field placements faced criticism.
