Star India pacer Jasprit Bumrah is all ready to make his International comeback against Ireland tour. Bumrah has been bowling with his full energy at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian fast bowler, who has been away from international cricket for about 11 months owing to a lower-back condition, is allegedly making strong advances towards his return to the national side. In hopeful news, Bumrah was observed training in the nets at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru on Saturday, August 12.
Jasprit Bumrah’s absence from the cricket arena was primarily due to a lower-back injury. However, Bumrah’s recent net practice is a strong sign that he’s gearing up for a comeback.
The next destination on his cricket tour is Ireland, where he will compete in a three-match T20I series against the home squad. Remarkably, Bumrah not only inherits the responsibility of leading the bowling attack but also takes on the role of guiding the squad.
This leadership position comes when other prominent players like Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, and Suryakumar Yadav are away from the squad. It’s worth noting that this series marks his captaincy debut in limited-overs cricket for the Indian team. He has previously captained the team in Test matches against England.
The sight of Bumrah bowling with such fluidity is definitely pleasing for cricket enthusiasts. His lengthy absence has been felt hard by the team, given his crucial role as a frontline bowler. As the Indian cricket team prepares for the next Asia Cup and the critically vital ODI World Cup, Bumrah’s form and rhythm will be of paramount relevance.
More recently, KL Rahul was sighted sharpening his wicketkeeping skills at the NCA (National Cricket Academy). The cricketer has suffered a lower-hip injury during the 43rd match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2023 Indian Premier League. The talks regarding the comebacks of both Rahul and Shreyas Iyer in the Indian team have been making rounds over the past several weeks.
With multiple players effectively reaching their peak fitness, the puzzle of selecting the best playing combination for the Indian squad might finally find a solution. As a result, the anticipation is mounting to find out which players will ultimately secure their spots in the team for the upcoming multi-nation competitions.
