Jasprit Bumrah's absence from the Indian Team has hurt the Men in Blue for several months. He sustained a back issue last year in August and went on to miss the Asia Cup 2022 in August - September, before being ruled out of the T20 World Cup in October - November. The star bowler came close to making a comeback in the team when he was selected for the Sri Lanka series in January but pulled out of it. Now Bumrah is in line to make a comeback soon and the pacer has given an update to the Indian Cricket set-up.
Bumrah shared a video collage on social media platform Instagram from his training session. The speedster is undergoing rehab at the National Cricket Academy and has begun bowling full tilt. He shared a video collage where Bumrah can be seen bowling at the nets. The pacer also used the song "I am coming home" in his video.
The 29-year-old is reportedly set to return to the team for the Ireland T20I series and can add strength to the Indian line-up in the Asia Cup too. Have a look at Bumrah's video post.
