Star Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is set to lead the second-string Team India in the upcoming three-match T20I series against Ireland. The series will commence with the first T20I on Friday at the Malahide Cricket Stadium in Dublin. Notably, Bumrah is making a comeback for India after a long wait of 11 months due to a back injury that he sustained in September 2022.

Now, the stand-in T20I skipper has revealed his mindset while practising during the rehabilitation. He said that he had a different kind of thought process while bowling in the nets during rehab.

“During rehab, I was preparing for the World Cup, bowling 10 or 12 or 15 overs not for a T20 game,” said Bumrah ahead of the first start of the T20I series against Ireland.

Bumrah’s presence is going to be a crucial role in India’s preparations for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023 and ODI World Cup 2023. He might have a big impact on India’s possibilities in the Asia Cup 2023 and ODI World Cup 2023.
