His comeback was met with a challenging start, as <strong>Virat Kohli<\/strong> welcomed him with a six on the very first ball. Despite the early hit, Bumrah delivered a typically economical spell, though MI fell short, suffering a <strong>12-run defeat<\/strong>\u2014their fourth loss in five matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd0a \u201cHe\u2019s in good nick,\u201d said Jayawardene post-match.<br>\u201cHe\u2019s disappointed we couldn\u2019t get the win, but the pace and execution were right up there. It\u2019s all about getting him game-time now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jayawardene clarified that the decision to introduce Bumrah later in the attack was strategic, aimed at <strong>managing his workload<\/strong> following his recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udcac \u201cBoom is coming back from a layoff. We\u2019ve got two swing bowlers who start us off, and we wanted to <strong>ease Bumrah back in<\/strong>. He executed well, and his control was excellent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MI coach emphasized that while Bumrah had undergone extensive rehabilitation at the <strong>BCCI\u2019s National Cricket Academy (NCA)<\/strong>, he needed match practice more than anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udccc \u201cSunday was actually his first session bowling to batters again. He had cleared all fitness tests at the NCA. Now it&#8217;s just about building rhythm in match situations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jayawardene praised Bumrah\u2019s skill and sharpness, saying that despite limited game-time, his quality was evident.<br>\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f \u201cHe probably had just two or three off balls in the whole spell. Against top-quality batters, that\u2019s a solid performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Bumrah\u2019s return, MI now look to regroup and build momentum in the upcoming fixtures, banking on their spearhead regaining full match sharpness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India pacer Jasprit Bumrah is steadily regaining rhythm following a three-month injury layoff, and Mumbai Indians (MI) plan to ease him back into full competition mode&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1574,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1573","post","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1573"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1573\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1575,"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1573\/revisions\/1575"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duggarsamvad.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
