As they reached the airport gate in the morning, the experienced cricketer asked them to have proper rest and breakfast. “Subeh Subeh aaram karo, naashta karo (Rest and have breakfast in the morning)," Jasprit Bumrah said.
Questions over the seamer's work ethics
While the Board of Control for Cricket in India closely monitors the pace spearhead’s workload management to prolong his career at the highest level, former India cricketer Snajay Manjrekar raises questions on the bowler’s work ethic.
“Bumrah is somebody… I’m just confused about how his career is going in terms of his availability. I did an Insta post yesterday. I thought Bumrah was the frontrunner to become India’s T20 captain because I thought he could handle the T20 workload,” he said on the Sony Sports Network.
The former cricketer asked Bumrah to play more matches for the national cricket team, as he made himself available for the entire Indian Premier League season.
“I just wish that he would commit himself more to India. I can understand the workload he feels for Test cricket; 50 overs of cricket is extremely demanding. But considering that he played the entire IPL, I thought he would be able to take the workload of a few T20 matches in Ireland and England,” Manjrekar added.
It is worth noting that Jasprit Bumrah went to the board’s Center of Excellence (CoE) before joining the Mumbai Indians for the 2026 season.
