'Tufaan aa raha hai' - Fans react to Jasprit Bumrah's 'during rehab, I was preparing for the World Cup' statement

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.

Here’s a look at India’s squad for the three-match T20I series against Ireland:

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Sanju Samson, Jitesh Sharma, Washington Sundar, Shivam Dube, Shahbaz Ahmed, Jasprit Bumrah (Captain), Ravi Bishnoi, Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, and Avesh Khan

Here’s a look at the schedule of the three-match T20I series against Ireland:

1^st T20I, Friday, 18^th of August 2023, The Village, Malahide Cricket Stadium, Dublin, 7.30 PM
