His comeback was met with a challenging start, as <strong>Virat Kohli<\/strong> welcomed him with a six on the very first ball. Despite the early hit, Bumrah delivered a typically economical spell, though MI fell short, suffering a <strong>12-run defeat<\/strong>\u2014their fourth loss in five matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd0a \u201cHe\u2019s in good nick,\u201d said Jayawardene post-match.<br>\u201cHe\u2019s disappointed we couldn\u2019t get the win, but the pace and execution were right up there. It\u2019s all about getting him game-time now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jayawardene clarified that the decision to introduce Bumrah later in the attack was strategic, aimed at <strong>managing his workload<\/strong> following his recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udcac \u201cBoom is coming back from a layoff. We\u2019ve got two swing bowlers who start us off, and we wanted to <strong>ease Bumrah back in<\/strong>. He executed well, and his control was excellent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MI coach emphasized that while Bumrah had undergone extensive rehabilitation at the <strong>BCCI\u2019s National Cricket Academy (NCA)<\/strong>, he needed match practice more than anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udccc \u201cSunday was actually his first session bowling to batters again. He had cleared all fitness tests at the NCA. Now it&#8217;s just about building rhythm in match situations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jayawardene praised Bumrah\u2019s skill and sharpness, saying that despite limited game-time, his quality was evident.<br>\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f \u201cHe probably had just two or three off balls in the whole spell. Against top-quality batters, that\u2019s a solid performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Bumrah\u2019s return, MI now look to regroup and build momentum in the upcoming fixtures, banking on their spearhead regaining full match sharpness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India pacer Jasprit Bumrah is steadily regaining rhythm following a three-month injury layoff, and Mumbai Indians (MI) plan to ease him back into full competition mode during the IPL 2024, head coach Mahela Jayawardene said on Monday.
