Earlier, star all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja was also ruled out of the T20 World Cup 2022 due to a knee injury he sustained during Asia Cup 2022. With key players missing, team India's dreams of lifting the T20 World Cup after 15 years has suffered a massive setback.
Bumrah returned to professional cricket in the 2nd T20I against Australia after staying out of action. The Indian pacer picked up a wicket in his comeback match as he dismissed Aaron Finch in an 8-over per side match.
Jasprit Bumrah's comeback can be seen as a rushed return, as the 28-year-old complained of pain in his back while practising and withdrew from all the training drills. However, the damage had already been done. The ace pacer missed the 1st T20I against Australia and after playing 2 matches, decided to sit out the first T20I against South Africa.
