Jasprit Bumrah said he’s eager to get back into cricket for defending champions Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League, after a much-needed break.
“I was on a break. I bowled a lot of overs in South Africa, had played continuously throughout the year. I was at NCA and not sleeping at home. It was a good break and was necessary. The hunger is back and it is good to be back (playing cricket),” Bumrah said ahead of Mumbai’s IPL opener against Chennai Super Kings here on Saturday.
“I have played against CSK before. It’s good to play against India teammates,” said Bumrah who has already scalped 47 wickets in 46 matches for MI in three years in IPL.
Bumrah is now the spearhead of MI’s pace attack in the absence of Lasith Malinga who has retired as a player.
