You know what’s really cool? Jasprit Bumrah is back in the game, and he’s not putting too much pressure on himself. After a whole year of missing out due to a back injury, he’s finally back on the cricket field, and boy, he’s soaking up every moment of it. Captaincy? Yeah, he’s stepping in as captain for India too – no big deal, right?

He’s all chilled out, talking about his journey back and the hard work he’s put in after surgery to get here. Bumrah’s first net session with the Indian team in a year felt like a homecoming – no holding back, just enjoying every bit of it. He’s been training like crazy – net sessions, practice matches, you name it. And guess what? His body’s feeling good, and he’s pumped for the upcoming games.

Bumrah’s been at the National Cricket Academy, doing the grind to get match-ready. He’s bowled loads – 10, 12, even 15 overs – preparing for the big leagues like the World Cup. Talking about expectations? Yeah, he’s aware that people see him as India’s bowling superstar, but he’s not sweating it. He’s not carrying any baggage, just focusing on enjoying the game. He’s like, “Expectations? Nah, I’m here to have fun and play the sport I love.”

Did he ever doubt himself during that downtime? Sure, he felt a bit frustrated, but he channeled it into finding solutions. He’s got a positive outlook, looking at the bright side of things. He’s like, “Yeah, I missed cricket, but I got to chill with my family, which was pretty awesome.” The summer off was like an unplanned vacation, and he’s happy about it.

In his words, he’s not stressing about what others expect from him. He’s focusing on doing his thing, putting his best foot forward, and letting the rest take care of itself. The journey back wasn’t easy, but he’s back, he’s enjoying it, and he’s ready to rock the cricket world again.
