Indian skipper Virat Kohli also wants the World Cup-bound fast bowlers to be rested from next year's IPL but the idea mooted at a meeting with the Committee of Administrators (CoA) is unlikely to find favour with the franchises.

During a recent meeting of the CoA in Hyderabad, Kohli suggested resting pacers, especially Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, from the entire IPL to keep them fresh for the World Cup.

In fact, Rohit Sharma the captain of IPL franchise Mumbai Indians of which Jasprit Bumrah is also part of disagreed with Virat Kohli on that.
