Hope Bumrah stays injury free in future: Harbhajan

New Delhi . Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh is happy with Jasprit Bumrah’s return to the Indian team and wishes that the fast bowler remains injury-free in future.

Jasprit Bumrah, who was out of Team India for 10 months due to injury, is all set to return to international cricket after being named captain for the three-match T20I series against Ireland, starting August 18.

In a video posted on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan congratulated Bumrah on his recovery and wished the fast bowler all the best for the future.

Harbhajan said, “Jasprit Bumrah is back. He was injured for a long time and everyone was waiting for his return. He is back and has been made the captain straight away. Congratulations Jassi on becoming the captain and most importantly fit To happen. I wish Jassi doesn’t get injured again.”

Bumrah has been away from action for a long time. Due to injury, he also missed the Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia and also did not appear in the Asia Cup in UAE. The 29-year-old attempted a comeback in January this year for the ODI series against Sri Lanka. But he did not succeed in this.

Harbhajan said that Bumrah is as important in the fast bowling department as Virat Kohli is in batting. He has been missed a lot, whether you watch the WTC final or the cricket played before that. I used to say earlier also and am saying today that if we talk about batting, we talk about Virat Kohli, and if there is a Virat Kohli in bowling, it is Jasprit Bumrah. There is no greater name than him.

This bowler has taken 70 wickets in 60 T20s with an economy rate of 6.62.(IANS)
