Star Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah is making a strong comeback after an almost 11-month absence from international cricket due to a lower-back injury. Bumrah was seen practicing full throttle at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru on August 12. This development is particularly significant as Bumrah is set to lead India’s bowling lineup and take charge of the team during the three-match T20I series against Ireland.
Positive signs for India
Bumrah’s return to form and rhythm is a positive sign for the Indian cricket team, which has missed his services in the bowling unit for an extended period. The pacer is not only a key player in the team but will also be leading the side in colored jerseys for the first time, having previously captained the Test team against England.This return to action for Bumrah is timely, as India is gearing up for various upcoming tournaments including the Asia Cup and the crucial ODI World Cup. His presence and performance will be pivotal to India’s success in these events.Additionally, other players like KL Rahul are also showing signs of a strong comeback.
Rahul, who suffered a lower-hip injury during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, was seen practicing his wicketkeeping reflexes at the NCA. Speculations about the comebacks of players like Rahul and Shreyas Iyer have been circulating, and with several players returning to full fitness, the Indian team’s playing combination for upcoming tournaments is likely to be clearer.
The return of key players like Bumrah and Rahul is strengthening India’s core, and the team management will have the opportunity to make strategic decisions regarding the final squad for the upcoming multinational tournaments. Fans are eagerly anticipating the return of these players to the international stage and are hopeful for their strong performances in the matches ahead.
