Will Jasprit Bumrah be rested for the first Test of India's series against New Zealand starting on 2026-12-05?
8%chance, per Kāla▼ 24 pts since the last update
Why
Base rate: India occasionally rests fast bowlers for early Tests, but when a player is named in the squad as the lead attack, resting him is uncommon. Latest evidence: ESPNcricinfo (2026‑10‑16) reports that Jasprit Bumrah is in the India squad and will “lead the attack” in the two‑match Test series against New Zealand. What must still happen: Only a last‑minute injury or a strategic change before the first Test could see him rested.
