Jasprit Bumrah

The star Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has made an amazing comeback for Team India after a long wait of 11 months. Notably, he was not in action in international cricket since September 2022, owing to a back injury that he sustained during the T20I series against Australia.

Making an impactful comeback in the first T20I of the three-match series against Ireland, Bumrah scalped 2 wickets at the cost of only 24 runs in his quota of 4 overs. Apart from that, the 29-year-old is also leading the Men in Blue in the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma and star all-rounder Hardik Pandya.

Apart from stand-in skipper Bumrah’s comeback for Team India, star pacer Prasidh Krishna and IPL 2023 sensation Rinku Singh are making their debuts in T20I for Team India. Indian selectors picked Rinku on the grounds of his brilliant outings in the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League. He is also a part of the Indian squad for the upcoming Asian Games 2023 under the captaincy of young batter Ruturaj Gaikwad.
