Jasprit Bumrah's transformational journey
Jasprit Bumrah first made headlines while playing for Mumbai Indians in the IPL. The franchise played a crucial role in scouting the player after looking at his unique bowling action and speed. Nita Ambani lauded Bumrah's transformational journey and also mentioned that Mumbai Indians have discovered several young talents like Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya and so many more in the last decade. "The transformational journey of a young boy who was discovered by Mumbai Indians (MI) from a small town of India has been exceptional. Today, Jasprit Bumrah is an inspiration to countless young boys and girls. In the last ten years MI has discovered several young talents like Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya and so many more," Nita Ambani said at the Sports Business Summit in London.
Jasprit Bumrah visits UK to seek opinion on injury
"Bumrah is expected to leave on October 6th or 7th and would be there in the UK for about a week. As per the opinion of the three doctors, the next course of action will be decided upon. We have taken appointments from the best in the business when it comes to stress fractures," the official said. Recently, senior speedster Ashish Nehra told PTI that in case of a stress fracture, it is difficult to set a time-frame for comebacks as it "can vary" from player to player. "It might be the case of Jasprit feeling good after just two months and he may not feel good even after six months. It is such an injury where you don't have any medication save proper rest and then an intense rehabilitation programme. Only a player can say when he is match-ready," Nehra had said on Sunday.
