In the red-ball return, Jasprit Bumrah is ready for an African delicacy.

After a hiatus during the recently concluded ICC ODI World Cup 2023, star Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is set to make his comeback to international cricket.

Jasprit Bumrah became India’s second-most successful bowler behind Mohammad Shami with his spectacular performance in the main event. His ability to stroke the ball early and rattle rival hitters during the opening powerplay was crucial to India’s victory in the competition.

He is now preparing for his comeback against South Africa in a two-match Test series after choosing to rest during the five-match T20I series against Australia, which India won 4-1.

The prominent Indian bowler, who had back surgery, returned to the white-ball style with amazing success. As captain of the Ireland T20I series, Bumrah performed admirably and had incredible performances during the 2023 World Cup. His talent in the event final versus Australia was astounding, as he came just short of Travis Head’s wicket, who ended up winning player of the match.

After leading the team against England in July 2022 but losing, Jasprit Bumrah has been playing in his first Test match since then.

With explosive deliveries with the red ball, the pacer recently gave an insight into his intense training sessions.

Jasprit Bumrah is expected to boost India’s bowling assault as the squad looks to win a historic Test series in South Africa. For the Indian team, which lost the last series 2-1, the Proteas area has proven difficult. Cricket fans are looking forward to Bumrah’s outstanding exploits on African soil as he prepares for the challenge.

Jacques Kallis feels that South Africa is a formidable opponent.

Former South African all-rounder and cricket legend Jacques Kallis recently shared his thoughts about the forthcoming series, stating that it is expected to be a fiercely contested contest with the result possibly depending on just one or two pivotal sessions.

Although South Africa is a formidable opponent, the Indian squad is a strong one. Newlands is likely to work in India, while Centurion is likely to work in South Africa. It’s going to be a great series, and in one or two of the sessions, one team may perform better than the other. IndiaTv cited Kallis as stating, “It would be a closely fought contest.”
