Boom Boom goes Bang Bang! Making a return to International cricket after 11 months, Jasprit Bumrah rocked the Ireland top order with 2 dismissals. After dismissing Andrew Balbirnie with a awestrucking inswinger, he then quickly dispatched Lorcan Tucker to claim 2 wickets in his very first over in IND vs IRE 1st T20I.
It has been a return that Jasprit Bumrah desperately wanted. Out with a back injury for 11 months, leading from the front for the Men in Blue, Bumrah scalped 2 early wickets in the very first over of the game.
Jasprit Bumrah got welcomed to a boundary in the very first ball that he bowled to Andrew Balbirnie. But the Indian speedster came back strongly in the very next ball to crush Ireland’s hopes. A typical inswinger saw Bumrah completely deceiving the batter. The ball went between the bat and the pad to take a nick from the edge of the bat before crushing the teams.
After two dot balls, the Irish wicketkeeper Locran Tucker was the next batter to be sent back to the pavilion. A full swing ball into the batter saw Tucker going extremely impatient and taking a rash call. The batter tries to go over the wicketkeeper’s head in a bid to get a boundary.

But the pace and the bounce of the ball didn’t work for Tucker. The ball makes a little connection with the bat before taking the aerial route. Sanju Samson, India’s wicketkeeper comfortably gets under the ball to take a simple catch.
Now this has been the comeback that the bowler desperately wanted. With busy and important fixtures up ahead, Bumrah needs to fire on all cylinders to build his match fitness. Up next Bumrah is set to play a crucial role for the Men in Blue in the Asia Cup before leading the pace attack in the grand ICC World Cup 2023 tournament.
