The same squad has been announced for the second test by India. This indicates Bumrah would be playing the second test as well
If Bumrah is feeling great then he must play , life is unpredictable when you are at your peak play as much as possible, I think Bumrah is at the peak of his powers and should try to reach 200 test wickets by year end.

This is one of best pitches that india have produced seaming and swinging on day 1 flat on day 2 and 3 turning on day 4 and 5 need this kind of pitches every match will prepare batters for overseas tours
this was accidental because of the weather. pitch would have become quicker by day 2 in normal weather. also there would have been no swing on day 1 after first 60 minutes

But they can defo leave some grass on the pitch on day 1 in all test matches in india it will teach our batsmen how bat on green pitches in nz and sa

Yeah. Skip the 2nd NZ test if a break is needed.

Ideally plays all NZ tests and then takes a break in the 4th/5th Aus test.
But we need him more in the bgt. Ideally he could take a break in the NZ/Ban series somewhere and manage a way to play the whole bgt hopefully

What do you think about the Team India squad for the Champions Trophy 2025? The Schedule is available. Team India will play its first match in Lahore.

He will not play either the 2nd or the 3rd Test vs NZ. It'll depend on how much he bowls etc in the 1st Test vs NZ

Whatever it takes!!!
Yeah and the Chennai test finishing early is also a factor.

I would rather he play 2 tests against NZ for sure. I am not sure how much of a break we have after the 3rd test against NZ to the first test against Aus as well. All of these factors should be considered. Also whether he will be asked to take a bigger load of overs if the wicket is as flat as everyone makes it out to be.

AFAIC, if its a black soil wicket, its far better to use the variety of Yash Dayal over Akashdeep and rest Bumrah for Kuldeep and the variation of the left arm leggie.

Mr. Glass
its enough if bumrah skips the 3rd test vs nz imo. get back to match fitness and then rest briefly before the real series
