On Wednesday, the lethal Indian pacer, Jasprit Bumrah on Wednesday shared a couple of pictures highlighting his cricketing journey. Through the pictures, he pointed out how he started from the ashes and reached a stage where he is considered one of the most lethal fast bowlers in the world. Bumrah is not part of Team India for the ongoing Test series against South Africa.
After being initially included in the Test squad, Bumrah was ruled out of the series due to a lower back stress fracture. After missing out on an opportunity to play his first Test at home, Bumrah flew to the UK to seek a specialist opinion on his injury. During his time away from the field, he is quite active on social media. His latest tweet read: “Started from the bottom now we’re here”.

Jasprit joined in saying: “After that, we couldn’t afford anything. I had one pair of shoes. I used to have one pair of T-shirts. I used to wash them every day and use it again and again. So, as a child, you know you hear stories that sometimes these things happen that some people come and watch you and you get picked up like this. But it actually happened.”
