Jasprit Bumrah's rise to No.1: A new era for Indian bowling

<p>India captain Rohit Sharma is very proud of his team for winning the second Test against England in Vizag and levelling the five-match series 1-1. The thumping 106-run victory came on the back of star performances mainly from three individuals – Yashasvi Jaiswal (209 in the first innings), Bumrah (nine&nbsp;wickets in the match) and Shubman Gill (104 in the second innings), and Rohit feels other batters need to step up in the remainder of the series.</p>

<p>While praising the wicket for being fair and batting-friendly, the India captain admitted that batters failed to convert those starts. He said the squad at the helm is young and will learn with time.</p>

<p>The opener added this win will boost the side’s confidence as they chase another series win at home in this format.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The wicket was really good to bat on. That's where, if I have to point anything, a lot of the batters got the start, but didn't convert into a big score, and [that's] something that we really need to look into," Rohit said at the post-match ceremony.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"But, again, having said that, I do understand they're very young, [and] they're very new to this form of the game. So obviously, it will take some time for us. It's important from our side to give them confidence, and this win, obviously, will give them a lot of confidence, and [tell them] just to go out there and play freely,” the India captain added.</p>

<h2>‘Proud of this team’</h2>

<p>Bazball is all over everyone and vowed to punish India in their conditions. Having won the first Test in Hyderabad from a losing position, England showed what their newest brand of cricket can do. Even in the recently-concluded second Test, England remained calm during the 399-run chase.&nbsp;</p>

<p>India didn’t allow them to build pressure on them, and courtesy of handy performances from Bumrah and Ashwin, they won this tie. Rohit acknowledged his team’s performance, saying,&nbsp; "Very, very proud of such a young squad in terms of the Test matches that they've played. To come up against a team like that, [who] won the first Test match, and then to come out and play like that for us, [it's] very, very positive."</p>

<p>"Like I said, a lot of the guys are quite young in terms of playing this form of the game for us. So it'll take some time, obviously, to be absolutely spot on, but you've got to give it to them. [They need] a little more time, a little more freedom as well. And that is something that we are constantly talking in the changing room that we want these guys to have some time in the middle, go and play freely without any pressure,” the India skipper added.</p>

<p>Rajkot will host the third Test starting February 15.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who has been out of action for nearly a year, has shared a video in which he's seen back on the pitch. The video hints at the star bowler's imminent comeback. Skylar Grey’s "Coming Home" song attached to the video is garnering attention on social media. A lot has been said and written about Jasprit Bumrah’s absence from the Indian team.</p>

<p>Due to his back injury, the bowler was ruled out of the team. In the meantime, Bumrah missed several big tournaments, including the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, Asia Cup, WTC Final and IPL 2023.</p>

<h2>Jasprit Bumrah’s absence from Indian team</h2>

<p>Twitter users have been questioning the Board of Control for Cricket in India on the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. Several other players like Ravindra Jadeja and Jaydev Unadkat did not only recover from their injuries but have also returned to the playing XI. KL Rahul, who underwent a knee injury, has also returned to the nets. However, due to no update on Bumrah's condition, Indian fans started losing their calm. But with this video, not only has Bumrah answered several questions but also shut down the critiques. BCCI's official Instagram handle has also replied to the star pacers video. “Cannot wait to have you back,” read the comment.</p>

<h2>Will Jasprit Bumrah return for IND vs IRE T20I?</h2>

<p>Given the World Cup 2023 in India at the end of this year, the BCCI did not show much haste in Bumrah's return this time. Last time, when Bumrah was brought into the team in a hurry, the BCCI had to face the consequences, and questions were raised on the medical team. Bumrah is currently bowling in his full rhythm at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. This also means that he will mark his comeback with the T20 series against Ireland next month.</p>

<p>Although the selectors and management were looking forward to Bumrah's return from the Asia Cup to be played in September, after the rapid progress made in the last few weeks, he can now return to the series against Ireland next month. However, an official decision will be taken in the next few days.</p>
