Bumrah back in action
Jasprit Bumrah's return has definitely lightened up the mood in the Indian camp. He was out of action for quite a while due to a lower back stress fracture. Almost a couple of months ago, Bumrah had also posted a video where he had broken the middle stump into two halves during a practice session as the fans were eagerly awaiting his return to the field. Now, the youngster has once again repeated the same process.
While the Indian players were training in Guwahati ahead of the first T20I against Sri Lanka which will be played on Monday, Jasprit Bumrah seemed to be more aggressive during the session as he bowled a fiery delivery that shattered all the training stumps. The video of this wonderful display was posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on their official Twitter handle..
Missed this sight anyone? 🔥🔥🔝
