In very good news for the Indian fans ahead of the World Cup 2023, fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna bowled full tilt to Mumbai batters in practice games at the Alur Grounds in Bengaluru.

Both Krishna and Bumrah suffered from stress fractures to the back and underwent surgeries recently.  Bumrah last played for India in September 2022 and Krishna’s game for India came in August last year.

Bumrah missed the Asia Cup 2022, T20 Worl Cup 2022, and both the bowlers also missed the IPL 2023. The duo had been recuperating at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.
