Indian Cricket pace sensation Jasprit Bumrah recently took to Instagram and posted a short video of himself bowling in the nets. Bumrah hasn’t played for India since the T20 World Cup where he played a huge role throughout the tournament.
The 30-year-old could be seen marking his run up and also taking a few laps of the ground. This was followed by Bumrah bowling to a batter in the nets from a short run-up. The pacer wrote on Instagram “Punjabi aa gaye oye”.
It is going to be an exciting few months ahead for the Indian team as they are set to play 5 Tests at home and 5 away in Australia. It is to be seen if Bumrah will play in the home Test matches against Bangladesh and New Zealand.
Jasprit Bumrah: Rohit Sharma’s key weapon home and away
Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah has played 5 Test matches in 2024 and has already picked 27 wickets. The 30-year-old has recorded two fifers in 2024 with the first coming during the 2nd innings of the Cape Town game. Bumrah picked 6/61 to help India win the game inside a day and a half.
His next best was during the Visakhapatnam Test where Bumrah picked 6/45. His most memorable ball was to Ollie Pope where his yorker left the England batter's stumps rattled. Bumrah picked 19 wickets from four matches at home against England earlier this year.
Rohit Sharma will want Jasprit Bumrah to be at the top of the form during the upcoming tour of Australia. The right-arm pacer has a good record down under having picked 32 wickets from 7 matches. His best of 6/33 came during the 2018 MCG test which India won to claim a famous series win for the first time.

It is to be noted that Bumrah has yet to play a Test against Bangladesh. The 30-year-old has played 3 matches against New Zealand and picked just 6 wickets.
