Bowling and fielding of 10 overs is important
Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is returning to the field after almost a year. Recently he was seen in the T20 series against Ireland and he also performed brilliantly. Regarding that, former India legend Sanjay Manjrekar told Cricinfo that the ODI format is different. It will be important to see if Bumrah is able to field 50 overs apart from bowling 10 overs. This format will be challenging for them. Bumrah has recovered from a back injury. He has also changed his actions.
Preparation mode 🔛
Energy level high 💪
