Jasprit Bumrah was rested for New Zealand ODIs as he will feature in T20I series before T20 WC 2026.
Jasprit Bumrah, Team India's pace spearhead, bowled in the nets with his son, Angad Bumrah, ahead of his return to action in the forthcoming T20I series against New Zealand, which begins on January 21.
The T20I leg of the ongoing home white-ball series against the Kiwis marks the Men in Blue's penultimate preparation for the T20 World Cup 2026, which will be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
Jasprit Bumrah started his preparation by bowling in the nets in Ahmedabad prior to his return for the forthcoming T20I series against New Zealand. Angad Bumrah, the Indian pacer's 2-year-old son, was with him, though, as he watched his father bowl in the nets.
Angad Bumrah was born on 3rd September 2023, after Jasprit and his wife Sanjana Ganesan’s two years of marriage.
Angad was seen following his father during the training session in a video that Bumrah shared on his Instagram account. The 31-year-old was seen bowling at the nets with his coach.
The practice session became a father-son moment as his son playfully tried to mimic his movements and even tried to bowl himself with Bumrah's support. The heartwarming video posted by Jasprit Bumrah quickly went viral on social media.
