Jasprit Bumrah who had been away from cricket due to a back injury makes a comeback in the series against Sri Lanka. The pacer announced his arrival and how! By rattling the stumps. Ahead of the first T20I, the entire team gathered at the Barsapara Stadium for sweating it out in the nets. Needless to say, Bumrah who is a part of the team was also there at the stadium and was seen practising his Yorkers. The official account of the BCCI shared the pictures and videos of the same on their social media account.

The nets were conducted last evening and even in the morning today. The players were seen sweating it out in the nets.
