Jasprit Bumrah – Exploits in 2024

The 31-year-old had picked up 32 wickets in the Test series against Australia Down Under. Unfortunately, he picked up a back spasm while bowling on Day 2 of the fifth Test in Sydney. He then underwent rehabilitation at Bengaluru’s National Cricket Academy (NCA) but his participation in the Champions Trophy still hung in the balance.

He had been initially named in India’s ODI squad for the three-match series against England but was withdrawn later. Rookie speedster Harshit Rana replaced the Gujarat cricketer in India’s Champions Trophy squad.

Earlier, Bumrah had played a crucial role in India’s triumphant 2024 T20 World Cup campaign in the USA and West Indies. He finished the tournament as India’s second-best bowler after Arshdeep Singh (17 wickets), with Bumrah having taken 15 wickets.

On Sunday, Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat first. At the time of writing this report, the Men in Green were 61/2 after 14 overs with Saud Shakeel (8) and skipper Mohammad Rizwan (7) on the crease. Hardik Pandya drew first blood by removing Babar Azam in the ninth over followed by Imam-ul-Haq’s run out by Axar Patel in the next over.
