Ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah has left the camp and returned to Mumbai before India’s forthcoming match against Nepal in the ongoing Asia Cup 2023 due to personal matters.
If India wins their next match and advances to the Super Four stage, the 29-year-old is fully healthy and might play. Mohammed Shami is extremely likely to return to the playing XI in his place because the match against Nepal is a game of life or death for both teams. A team will advance to the next round of the Asia Cup if they manage to record their first victory.
In contrast, India’s top order completely failed to deliver against players like Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah during the match against Pakistan. Since the Rohit Sharma-led team wants to do well at the Asia Cup 2023 and get ready for the future ODI World Cup, the objective will be to improve in the upcoming game.
In the most recent game, Shaheen bamboozled both of their key batsmen, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, while Shreyas Iyer, who was hoping to clinch the number four spot in the ODI lineup, was once again dismissed by a short ball. Shubman Gill, a young person, also fell short.
Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya, on the other hand, played some outstanding cricket to help India record a solid total. Due to KL Rahul’s injury, the southpaw, who is now playing, scored 82 runs, while Pandya scored 87 runs at Pallekele.
Due to the weather, bowlers missed their chance to defend the total and will thus be looking to make an impression against Nepal. Notably, the Rohit Paudel-led team suffered a humiliating loss to Pakistan in the competition’s opening match. As a result, they will aim to bounce back, but it won’t be simple for them.
