“And…He’s BACK. @Jaspritbumrah93 all set for a session at the nets,” the BCCI captioned the picture of Bumrah in action with bowling coach Bharat Arun.
The BCCI followed it up with a video of Bumrah, striking the stumps with fierce bowling. “Missed this sight anyone? How’s that from @Jaspritbumrah93 #TeamIndia #INDvSL,” the BCCI captioned the video on Twitter.

Bumrah has been out since the start of the home series against South Africa in October 2019, due to a stress fracture but has made a steady recovery.
Calling 2019 a year full of “accomplishments”, Bumrah had tweeted: “2019 has been a year of accomplishments, learning, hard work and making memories, on the field and off it too.”
