Jasprit Bumrah returned to the national squad with high-intensity bowling drills at Arun Jaitley Stadium ahead of India's three-match T20I series against Afghanistan. Having fully recovered from a knee issue, the leading pacer rigorously challenged fifteen-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the nets, beating the aggressive left-hander with tight lengths, drawing an edge off a shorter ball, and jamming him with a sharp yorker, though the teenager managed to punch an overpitched delivery through the cover region.
Other bowlers also exerted pressure on Sooryavanshi, with Arshdeep Singh generating troubling swing and Yash Thakur beating his bat, contrasting their earlier duel in the Duleep Trophy semifinals. To cap off a rough evening that also included dropped catches during high-ball fielding practice, the young prospect was not the only one tested by Bumrah.
Bowling in tandem with Nitish Kumar Reddy and other squad members, Bumrah subsequently went after captain Shreyas Iyer, cutting him open and beating both edges with sheer pace.
