Jasprit Bumrah returned from his South Africa tour with scorching yorkers in preparation for the Test series. Following the World Cup 2023 Final, India’s fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has resumed training after a brief hiatus.
One of the top bowlers in the competition, Bumrah, was not included in the T20I series versus Australia. Bumrah will return to action in the two-match Test series after being rested from the white-ball series against South Africa.
Following back surgery, the prominent Indian pacer made an explosive return to the white-ball format. After making a strong comeback to captain the Ireland T20I series, Bumrah went on to bowl some incredible spells during the 2023 World Cup.
Actually, Bumrah showed incredible skill in the tournament final match against Australia, and it was unfortunate that he did not get the wicket of Travis Head, who ended up being the player of the match in the summit match.
Bumrah’s first red-ball cricket assignment since July 2022, when he played against England, will be the South Africa series. Bumrah had led the team in that Test match in Rohit Sharma’s absence, but he was unable to lead England under Ben Stokes to victory.
In a video that Bumrah shared on Instagram, he can be seen practicing his bowling technique with a red ball. In anticipation of the two-match series against South Africa, the pacer can be seen bowling at full tilt.
Since the Proteas are still their last opponent in the red-ball format, India will be hoping for a strong performance. India has never won a Test series in South Africa, and they lost 2-1 in a contentious series during their last tour.
