‘Your void was always felt in our lives’ - Jasprit Bumrah pens emotional note in late father’s memory

Star Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah has well established himself as one of the best bowlers, not just in the Indian team but in world cricket. The 30-year-old spent quite a few months out with injury before making a return for the ODI World Cup in 2023.

Recently, the star pacer penned an emotional note in memory of his late father. Taking to Instagram, Bumrah talked of the impact his father had on their lives and how he wished that he was still with him. 

“Your void was always felt in our lives and since i have become a father myself i realised what a father’s emotion is and what i had missed in my life . As we remember you with happy memories i wish you were with us dad,” Bumrah posted on Instagram. 

Bumrah looks to return for England series

Jasprit Bumrah last featured for India in the side’s two-game Test series against South Africa. The ace pacer was then rested for the Afghanistan T20I series and will be making his return for the Indian team in the upcoming five-game Test series against England.

Led by Rohit Sharma, Team India is slated to face off against England in five Test matches, with the first Test scheduled to begin on January 25 in Hyderabad. After drawing the series against South Africa, the Rohit Sharma-led side will hope for a win against England and gain some much-needed points in the WTC points table.

The BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) recently announced India’s squad for the first two Tests against England, and many big names like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and even Bumrah will feature for the side as they gear up to take on England.
