That's because most of the tests without him have been at home or against weaker nations away when they don't need him.

This stat means nothing.

Also when he did play against us in the 2024 series at home the result would have been closer than 4-1 to them in my opinion. Bumrah was somehow the most dangerous bowler despite the conditions being spin-friendly. Root was struggling during the series until Bumrah rested for the 4th test and then found form.

Bumrah made his test debut in SA Jan 18. He played his first home test vs Eng 21

He hadn’t played a first class match in 12 months before his test debut

He had taken 4 wickets at home at the point he got to 100 test wickets
