Bumrah shares video of bowling full throttle at the nets ahead of test series against Proteas
Xtra Time Web Desk: Team India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is gearing up for his return to red-ball cricket, marking a comeback after a brief hiatus following the World Cup 2023 Final. Despite being one of the standout performers in the tournament, Bumrah sat out the T20I series against Australia and was also rested for the white-ball contests against South Africa.
Renowned for his exceptional skills, Bumrah showcased a remarkable return in the Ireland T20I series as captain and delivered impressive spells during the World Cup. In the final against Australia, his breathtaking performance was highlighted, narrowly missing the wicket of Travis Head, who later claimed the player of the match title.
The upcoming South Africa series will be a crucial test for Bumrah in red-ball cricket, marking his return since July 2022. His last appearance as captain against England did not result in victory, but the pacer remains determined for a successful stint in the upcoming 2-match Test series.
Bumrah, eager to make an impact, recently shared a training video on Instagram, showcasing his intense preparation with the red ball. India, eyeing a historic Test series win in South Africa, will rely on Bumrah's prowess as they aim to overcome their previous 2-1 defeat on South African soil.
