New Delhi: No team in international cricket is more dependent on their best individual performer than India. Perhaps that may be a tad too much but when a team is assured of wickets at an average (wickets by runs) of 19.60 and a strike rate (wickets by balls bowled) of 42.3, Jasprit Bumrah's usual returns, it is only right to assume that the absence with hurt more than usual.
