India pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who underwent back surgery in New Zealand in March, is diligently undergoing rehabilitation. It is now being speculated that the right-arm pacer might make a comeback to the field as he recently shared an interesting post on Instagram. Taking to Instagram, Bumrah dropped a subtle hint suggesting a return to action. He posted a picture of his bowling spikes and captioned the post, “Hello friend, we meet again.” In April, the 29-year-old began his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, as confirmed by a press release from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Unfortunately, due to his recovery process, he was unable to participate in Mumbai Indians’ campaign in IPL 2023.
Last week, Bumrah expressed his happiness over Akash Madhwal’s stupendous performance in the IPL 2023 Eliminator on Wednesday. Madhwal’s remarkable figures of 5/5 contributed to Mumbai Indians’ resounding 81-run win over Lucknow Supergiants. With his superb bowling and three unusual run-outs, Lucknow were bowled out for 101 with three overs to spare, while Australian Marcus Stoinis top-scored with 40. Total 182/8 posted. Bumrah tweeted: “What a magic from Akash Madhwal. Congratulations Milton, great win.” Madhwal also received praise from former Indian cricketers Virender Sehwag and Anil Kumble.
Sehwag shared on Instagram, “Aakash Madhwal took 5 wickets in the Eliminator after taking 4 wickets in the last league game, which was a do or die situation. It is heartening to see the new players doing well. This season We have seen experienced players shine and many newcomers make a significant impact. Congratulations to Mumbai for an emphatic win. Will they become the first team to win the IPL after finishing fourth in the league stage?”
Madhwal, who equaled Anil Kumble’s record for the most economical five-wicket haul, was welcomed into the “fifer club”. “Great bowling in a high pressure game, Akash Madhwal. Welcome to the 5/5 club,” Kumble tweeted.
