IRE vs IND | Twitter rejoices Bumrah stunner to announce comeback in glorious fashion

A young Indian side took to the field on Friday in Malahide against Ireland for the first of three T20Is led by Jasprit Bumrah, who returned to international cricket after spending nearly a year away from the game due to a recurring back injury. The right-arm quick's unusual bowling action meant he was always prone to such issues and many had already labelled him past his prime given the long time he spent in rehabilitation. However, in typical fashion, the 29-year-old took little time to flip the script as he hit the ground running with a dreamy first over with the new ball which earned him two scalps, including a peach of an inswinger to send Andy Balbirnie's bails flying.

Bumrah strayed to the batter's pads first up and was met with a comprehensive flick for four but made amends off the very next delivery. He pitched a ball at length considerably outside off, inviting Balbirnie into a drive, but the Kookaburra swung in sharply to take the inside edge and rattle onto the stumps. A trademark inswinging yorker followed two deliveries later to Lorcan Tucker to send the crowd into further frenzy. The speedster well and truly sealed the deal on the penultimate ball of the over as Tiucker's audacious attempt at a reverse ramp took the top edge and was pouched comfortably by Sanju Samson behind the stumps.

Bumrah could not have imagined a better start to his first game as T20I skipper and was instantly lauded by praises all across social media.
