Jasprit Bumrah's latest pic gets funny response from Danielle Wyatt
Jasprit Bumrah is under rehabilitation at National Cricket Academy after suffering a stress fracture on his back before the recent South Africa series at home.
Cricket fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Team India star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who is currently under rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) after suffering a stress fracture to his back before the home series against South Africa. The 25-yeard-old was expected to be on the sidelines for a long time but India's bowling coach Bharat Arun confirmed that the pacer would be back 'sooner than later'
Jasprit Bumrah: Latest Instagram post
Bumrah recently posted a photo from the NCA in Bengaluru of him doing weights in the facility, which showed that the pacer is leaving no stone unturned to make a comeback to the national fold and regaining full fitness. Sharing his progress with his fans, Bumrah shared the latest picture from his gym session on his official Instagram account. He captioned it, “Coming Soon”.
However, this image caught the attention of England’s women cricketer Danielle Wyatt, who is famous for her admiration for Indian batting greats like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Wyatt had earlier even publicly expressed her desire to marry Kohli when he was single. On this instance, Wyatt showed her witty side by making fun of Bumrah’s weight lifting exercises.
Ever since making his debut in 2016, the Mumbai Indians pacer has become the mainstay of the Indian bowling attack in all three formats. Bumrah, who made his Test debut in 2018, already has a record to his name after becoming the only Asian bowler with five-wicket hauls in Tests in South Africa, England, Australia, and West Indies.
He also became the third Indian to take a Test hat-trick, a feat he achieved during the Test leg of the West Indies tour this year. With the T20 World Cup in Australia next year, the team management would want their star pacer to be in better shape considering his importance to the side and also in terms of India's challenge for their second T20 world title.
