Jasprit Bumrah post rehab video
Going into the 2022 Asia Cup, the biggest miss for India would be their premium pacer Jasprit Bumrah. The right arm quick has been out of action since the tour of England earlier this summer owing to a back spasm.
Bumrah, currently undergoing rehab at the National Cricket Academy, took to Instagram to post a video of his training with the caption, ‘no hurdle big enough’.

With the T20 format Asia Cup to be followed a T20 World Cup in Australia this October, India would want their third-highest wicket taker in the format fully fit for the main event down under. Since his debut in 2016, Bumrah has picked 69 wickets for India in 58 T2oIs, only behind Yuzvendra Chahal (79) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (72) in the tally.
