Bumrah's Big Mistake in england Test..? Pietersen slams Bumrah...?

Kevin Pietersen said that Jasprit Bumrah's stupid decisions are the reason for India's downfall. In the 5th Test match against the england team, the indian team suddenly fell behind. The indian team, which led by 132 runs in the first innings, but set a target of 378 runs in the 2nd innings, failed to bowl.
Alex Lees, Joe Root, and Jonny Bairstow scored the fifties in the england team and the england team is in a strong position of 259-3 until the end of the 4th day. After leaking 4.45 runs per over, the indian team is going very close to defeat. In this case, former player Kevin Pietersen said that bumrah is the reason for India's loss. In that, Bumrah's strategies were completely bad. Reverse swing balls have no effect there. But by throwing the same, he made it easy for the batsmen to predict.
If the reverse swing ball comes at 140+ kmph, he can easily hit it in the direction of the striker. england batsmen did that yesterday. Herein lies the first problem. Next, bumrah took a stupid decision in the field set as well.
In other words, even though he bowled aggressively, he kept the fielders standing in long on and long off directions. That's big bullshit. Even in the last 15-20 overs, Bairstow would have struggled if he had brought the fielders earlier.
Now, if he had done a reverse swing and hit it over his head if possible, he might have got a wicket in the frenzy. But Pietersen criticized bumrah for not doing it.
