Bumrah's Historic Return to ODI Cricket

Jasprit Bumrah made a remarkable return to the Indian ODI team after a hiatus of 969 days, surpassing Ravindra Jadeja's record. His last appearance in this format was during the 2023 Cricket World Cup final against Australia on November 19. After nearly three years away, Bumrah showcased his exceptional skills, delivering a fiery opening spell that left English openers Ben Duckett and Jacob Bethell struggling to score runs. His efforts culminated in the 14th over when he claimed the crucial wicket of Harry Brook, marking his 150th ODI wicket. Brook was dismissed for just one run, edging a delivery to Rohit Sharma at first slip.
