Jasprit Bumrah, premier fast bowler for India, has begun bowling at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. The bowler shared a video of himself bowling for the first time since his injury. He hasn't played cricket since the last Test match in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024–2025.
Due to a back ailment, Bumrah, who is now considered the best fast bowler in the world, was unable to play in the Champions Trophy or the bilateral series against England. The bowler was forced to leave the Sydney Test, the last game of the India-Australia series, halfway through.
Bumrah shared the video on Instagram with the caption reading: "Progress Everyday."
Here is the video:
Bumrah was recently spotted in Dubai while India and Pakistan were playing in the Champions Trophy group round. The fast bowler was present to collect his 2024 ICC accolades, which included the titles of Test Player of the Year and Cricketer of the Year.
He discussed his injury and mentioned that his back was feeling considerably better when he met with the Indian team before the highly anticipated match.
Bumrah is anticipated to return to action for Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2025 that begins on March 22.
