The Indian cricketers are currently enjoying the forced break due to the coronavirus pandemic at their respective homes. However, on July 8, the international cricket finally resumed after a gap of four months as the last game was earlier played on Match 2. England hosted the West Indies for the first Test of the three-match series at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.
With cricket seemingly getting back on its feet, the premier Indian fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah is leaving no stone unturned in keeping himself in top shape. Recently, the Indian fast bowler shared a video on Instagram, sweating it out on his Wattbike.
The Indian pacer was expected to play a crucial role for the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as they are the defending champions but with the coronavirus crisis bringing the world to a halt, the tournament too suffered dearly and had to be postponed indefinitely.

Bumrah may still be seen in MI colors if the BCCI decides to organize the tournament but it all hinges on what decision the International Cricket Council (ICC) will take in regards to the T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in Australia in October-November.
The ICC is expected to take a final call on T20 World Cup this month, but no date for a meeting was announced. As of now, there is no decided to future of the tournament will take place but reports in the Australian media claimed last week that it is “all but certain” to be postponed.

Last month, Cricket Australia chairman Earl Edding said that it was “unrealistic” to hold the T20 World Cup “in the current world”.
Talking to the reporters, Edding said, “While it hasn’t been formally called off this year, or postponed, trying to get 16 countries into Australia in the current world, where most countries are still going through COVID spiking, I think it’s unrealistic, or it’s going to be very, very difficult.”
