Bumrah makes a triumphant return to the Indian setup. Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh couldn’t contain his joy as he congratulated Bumrah on his recovery and wished him the best for the future. In a heartfelt video shared on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan expressed his delight at Bumrah’s comeback, and his hope that the talented pacer stays away from injuries in the future.
Harbhajan excited for Bumrah’s return
Bumrah’s road to recovery hasn’t been an easy one, as he was sidelined with an injury for an extended period. However, his return was eagerly awaited by fans and teammates alike. Notably, the selectors showed immense faith in Bumrah’s abilities and named him the captain of the 15-member Indian squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Ireland, set to kick off in Dublin on August 18.
Harbhajan couldn’t hold back his admiration for Bumrah’s skills, likening him to the batting maestro Virat Kohli in terms of importance to the team. To Harbhajan, Bumrah is the Virat Kohli of the bowling department, and his presence on the field is invaluable. The former spinner emphasized the significance of Bumrah’s return, pointing out that he was sorely missed during the World Test Championship final and other matches that preceded it.Â
“Jasprit Bumrah has made a comeback. He was injured for a long time and his return was awaited. He has come back and has been made the captain straightaway. Congratulations to Jassi for becoming the captain and foremost for getting fit. I hope and keep my fingers crossed that Jassi doesn’t get injured again.”, Harbhajan said during a video on his YouTube channel.Â
The speedgun is backÂ
Bumrah’s impressive T20I record speaks volumes about his prowess as a bowler. With an impressive tally of 70 wickets at an economy rate of 6.62 in 60 T20Is, he has established himself as one of the most lethal pacers in the shortest format of the game. However, his absence from competitive cricket since September last year, owing to a back surgery, left a void in the Indian lineup.
Now that Bumrah is back in action, fans and experts alike are eagerly anticipating the magic he brings to the field. His ability to bowl deadly yorkers and deceive batsmen with his unconventional action makes him a formidable force in the bowling attack. The Indian team management is optimistic that Bumrah’s return will bolster their chances in the upcoming series and provide the much-needed firepower in the bowling lineup.
