Jasprit Bumrah participated in a match, bowled at full length 

Bumrah has been bowling in full throttle in the nets and in a recent video on social media the pacer was seen participating in an intra-squad match at the Alur stadium in Bengaluru. The pacer was wearing shorts and seemed to be enjoying his bowling as he bowled a number of overs in a bid to get back into his natural rhythm.

Netizens have reacted to Bumrah's return as the fast bowler has been trying to breach the Indian bowling lineup.

Bumrah's performance in the Ireland series could provide him with a chance to get selected for the upcoming Asia Cup. A good display in the Asia Cup would surely open the door for him in the upcoming World Cup.
