Jasprit Bumrah made his return to India’s playing XI in the second T20I against Australia last month. Before making a comeback, he missed competitive cricket for more than two months of action due to his back injury.

Jasprit Bumrah underwent recovery in NCA, Bengaluru but he could play only two matches on his return with the third T20I against Australia being his latest game.
