After getting eliminated from the T20 World Cup squad due to an injury, the ace Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah is gutted. He was earlier ruled out from the ongoing three-match T20I series between India and South Africa due to a back injury.
“I am gutted that I won’t be a part of the T20 World Cup this time, but thankful for the wishes, care, and support I’ve received from my loved ones. As I recover, I’ll be cheering on the team through their campaign in Australia,” Jasprit Bumrah tweeted on Tuesday.
