[Saba Sports News] In Asia Cup 2023’s Super Four stage in Colombo, India and Sri Lanka are competing in Match Four. Jasprit Bumrah, who recently returned to international cricket after an 11-month hiatus due to injury, bowled with intensity. There was a tense moment for Indian fans when Bumrah nearly twisted his ankle while appealing during his follow-through.
This incident occurred in the fourth ball of Sri Lanka’s innings when Bumrah bowled a big inswinger to Pathum Nissanka. Fortunately, he showed no signs of discomfort and continued bowling. In the ongoing match, Bumrah eventually dismissed Nissanka and Kusal Mendis with impressive deliveries, completing a five-over spell. He briefly left the field for treatment but returned to play.
Bumrah made his international comeback as the captain of Team India during the Ireland tour, winning the T20I series 2-0 and earning the Player of the Series award. On September 11, he took a crucial wicket against Pakistan. Bumrah’s performance is pivotal to India’s aspirations in the Asia Cup and the upcoming ODI World Cup.
