Twitter Buzzes as Jasprit Bumrah Gears Up for England Challenge
Jasprit Bumrah is all set to make his comeback in the ODI format. He would be playing for the Indian team in the ODI series against England, as the preparations for the World Cup begins. Bumrah last played an ODI match for India in the 2023 World Cup, which was the final game.
India has started its preparations for the 2027 ODI World Cup with a bang. After winning the ODI series against Afghanistan, the team is now getting ready for the real challenge. India will be going against England in a three match ODI series, which is all set to take place in July.
This series will also mark the return of Jasprit Bumrah to the ODI format. He was spotted having some practice sessions ahead of the ODI series. Even though he was not able to do well for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League this season, he has been a key bowler for the Indian team across all formats.
Moreover, it should also be noted that Bumrah will be playing an ODI match for the first time since the 2023 World Cup. The last ODI match he played was the World Cup final, as he also missed out on the Champions Trophy 2025 due to an injury.
Here's how Twitter has reacted to Jasprit Bumrah getting ready for a comeback.
Tough Challenge

The English batsmen will surely be having a tough challenge in the ODI series. The green pitches combined with Bumrah's unplayable deliveries will make a deadly combination.
Nice Question
Who will they remove - Prashid or Arshadeep?

A Twitter user raised a serious question on Jasprit Bumrah's comeback. Who will be removed from the team when Bumrah comes back, will it be Prasidh Krishna or will it be Arshdeep?
That's the Point
He must regain his full fitness and return to his best form, as the 2027 ODI World Cup will be played in South Africa. Without a fully fit and lethal Jasprit Bumrah, India's chances of winning the tournament will be significantly reduced.

It is necessary for the Indian team to have Jasprit Bumrah at his full fitness. Since the World Cup 2027 will be played in South Africa, if Bumrah remains fit, India has a high chance to win the tournament.
