The 'Comeback' man

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.
