WATCH: Jasprit Bumrah Back In Action, Bowls 10 Overs At Full Tilt vs Mumbai Batters At NCA
Jasprit Bumrah has been out of action since September 2022 due to a stress fracture injury on his back.
There is good news in store for Indian cricket fans as Jasprit Bumrah has started to bowl at full tilt at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru where he was undergoing rehabilitation for his back injury.
Bumrah has been out of action since September 2022 due to a stress fracture injury on his back.
He made a comeback in the Indian team during the T20I series against Australia but the move to fast track his return backfire as his injury worsened after that series.
He missed the T20 World Cup 2022, home Test series against Australia, IPL 2023, and the 2023 ICC World Test Championship final.
Since then, Bumrah has been working to regain full fitness at the NCA. The 29-year-old was seen bowling against young Mumbai batters during an intra-squad practice match.
Bumrah bowled his full quote of 10 overs in two spells and returned figures of 1 for 34 with two maidens. He bowled a wide variety of deliveries and also swung the ball outside off stump.
