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.
As per Times of India report, Bumrah bowled full quota of 10 overs divided in two spells, to some of Mumbai's young batsmen in an intra-squad practice match on Friday. His figures in the 'match simulation,' which involved all the bowlers bowling to Mumbai's batsmen came to 10-2-34-1, with opener Angkrish Raghuvanshi (bowled for an eight-ball duck) being his only wicket.
Then on Saturday, Prasidh Krishna bowled to Mumbai's batsmen in a practice game in three spells and his bowling figures read 10-2-26-1.
For the past two weeks, the Mumbai senior team has been camping in Alur near Bengaluru in a KSCA facility.
