The 3-match T20 series against Ireland will be essential for Jasprit Bumrah. He has been away from the field for the last one year. After undergoing back surgery, he will appear on the field for the first time. He has also been handed over the team’s captaincy in the series. Whether Bumrah can wreak havoc with his ball like before, its information will be found in the series against Ireland.
Earlier, the Board of Control for Cricket in India shared a video of him bowling in the nets (BCCI). In this, Bumrah can be seen bowling sharp as before. The batters are finding it challenging to play their ball.
A few weeks back, a video of Jasprit Bumrah bowling at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru surfaced. Although nothing was visible in that video, Jasprit Bumrah can be seen bowling in the same old action in the latest video shared by BCCI. He did an excellent yorker to the left-handed batsman. The batsman faced that ball anyhow. Earlier, he hit a bouncer to the right-handed batsman.
We’ve All Been Waiting For This Moment
The BCCI tweeted the video and wrote; This is the moment we have all been waiting for. Jasprit Bumrah is seen in his familiar style. The return of Jasprit Bumrah is a relief news for Team India. Primarily when the World Cup will be held in India itself in October-November. However, it has to be kept in mind that Bumrah’s back was injured for the second time. They have to be used very carefully. Their workload has to be taken care of.
