Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah marked a triumphant return to the international arena on Friday, stunningly claiming two wickets within his first over against Ireland. Bumrah's absence from cricket since September 2022, attributed to a back injury sustained during India's England tour, had left him sidelined. His remarkable recovery paved the way for his comeback, this time donning the role of captain for India's T20I team due to the absence of Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma.
