During a conversation on his YouTube channel, renowned Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin dropped a major hint regarding Jasprit Bumrah’s chances of representing India in the upcoming World Cup 2023. Ashwin expressed his anticipation for the highly anticipated India vs. Pakistan match at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium and suggested that Bumrah, along with other talented bowlers like Prasidh, might be available for the game.
The return of Jasprit Bumrah to the Indian cricket team holds significant importance due to his exceptional skills as a pace bowler. His absence in the recent T20Is against Pakistan was felt, making his potential inclusion in future matches eagerly awaited. Bumrah’s presence strengthens India’s bowling attack, thanks to his ability to deliver precise yorkers with pace, earning him a fearsome reputation and the respect of his peers.
There is growing hope that Jasprit Bumrah may participate in the upcoming Asia Cup, having been named in the squad. The Asia Cup will serve as a crucial platform for Bumrah to demonstrate his form and readiness for the World Cup in 2023. A strong performance in the Asia Cup would likely secure his place in the World Cup squad. Bumrah’s return will undoubtedly uplift the morale of the Indian team as they strive to reclaim the coveted trophy.

Ashwin’s statement has added to the buzz surrounding Bumrah’s comeback, making it music to the ears of every Indian cricket enthusiast.
“The last few games between India and Pakistan in the ICC events have been extraordinary to say the least. I think we can expect another blockbuster India-Pakistan game,” commented Ashwin on his YouTube channel.
“It’s going to be a very equally-balanced game because Pakistan also has a quality seam attack. For India, obviously, we are expecting Bumrah, maybe even Prasidh… all these guys to be fit. I don’t know what the combination is going to look like but all in all, a great contest on hand,” added Ravichandran Ashwin.
