Jasprit Bumrah resumes training, shares video of bowling
Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has provided a significant boost to fans and selectors by resuming bowling practice. After being sidelined due to a lower back injury sustained during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Bumrah’s return to the nets marks a crucial step in his rehabilitation process.
He shared a video on Instagram, captioned “Progress every day,” showcasing his bowling session where he shattered the middle stump, indicating a promising return to form.
Bumrah’s injury led to his exclusion from the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025, a significant setback for the Indian team. The pacer last played during the Sydney Test against Australia, where he was forced to withdraw midway due to back spasms. His absence was felt during the Champions Trophy, especially in high-stakes matches like the one against Pakistan.
Despite his injury, Bumrah remained connected with the team and the cricketing community. He was present in Dubai during India’s Champions Trophy match against Pakistan to receive prestigious ICC awards, including the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for Cricketer of the Year and the Test Player of the Year for 2024. His presence and accolades underscored his invaluable contribution to the team and the sport.
While this development is encouraging, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the team’s medical staff are likely to monitor Bumrah’s progress closely. Ensuring he achieves full match fitness without risking re-injury will be paramount. Fans and stakeholders alike are hopeful that Bumrah’s rehabilitation continues smoothly, paving the way for his return to competitive cricket soon.
