Jasprit Bumrah is all set to make his comeback after the stress fracture on his back 11 months ago, The 29-year-old reported a back problem after the 2nd ODI against England in July 2022.
Answering a Question about the expectations of Rohit and Dravid Bumrah said:
“I respect their opinion but irrespective they are good or bad, I don’t take anyone’s opinion seriously. I don’t want to put myself under pressure. I don’t put unnecessary expectations on me. I am coming back after a long time, I want to enjoy it now. I’m not thinking that I have to contribute a lot or I will change everything. I’m coming with minimal expectations. If others are expecting, it’s their problem, not mine,”
“I’m just the same guy. I’ve always had a lot of belief in my ability. Yes, obviously I understand that I am coming back after a long layoff. So you obviously want to work your way up. You want to enjoy your game. You want to slowly keep on getting better with each and every game and not be too unrealistic with what you want to do. You want to feel good getting a lot more game time,”
“You have to respect your body and give it time to recover. But what it does is makes you hungry. I understood the moment my body recovered; I could do that little bit extra. I’m not holding back. I have had many net sessions. Not just at NCA, but even back home with the Gujarat team. I have no restrictions. The body feels good,” he added.
