Jasprit Bumrah is finally back for the Indian squad in their 2nd T20I match against Australia as he is set to be included in India’s Playing XI. Bumrah did not play since July 14 because of injury, and last played against England. On their last game, he was actually part of their line-up already. However, many got surprised because he did not suit up in their first T20I against Australia last Wednesday. Luckily this time, he is now ready and prepared to go all out for his return.
According to BCCI, they are just making sure that Bumrah is really ready both physically and mentally. “The team management did not want to rush him and that is the reason for his absence in the Mohali game,” they said. The main reason why Bumrah did not play last game is because they do not want to rush him. Although he already got a go signal to play that time, it does not mean he is already 100%. This is BCCI’s answer to those who had doubts about Bumrah’s condition.
Since his absence in the first ODI, there are whispers that doubts if he really recovered from his injury. Fortunately, BCCI quickly dispelled these rumors as to avoid more worries for the fans. The management assured the fans that Bumrah really recovered from his injury. In fact, according to them, “he bowls full blast and ready for action”. With that, expect him to be included in their second T20I squad.
According to Hardik Pandya, they know how important Bumrah is in their squad. He also expressed his trust to his other members. After all, his squad is the best 15 people in their country playing cricket. As Jasprit comes back for the Indian team, it is a huge boost to the team’s morale and confidence.
India and Australia’s second T20I will be on September 23, 2022, at 9:00 PM (GMT+8).
