'IPL meri jaan': Reports of Bumrah missing ODIs against Aussies and playing IPL straight trigger memefest

Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah’s recovery from stress fracture has been a slow one and the Indian team management is unlikely to risk playing him in the three ODIs against Australia just after the end of the four-match Test series, reported news agency PTI. So in all likelihood, Bumrah might not be rushed for Australia ODIs.

Bumrah will be needed for the potential World Test Championship final at the Oval in London from June 7-11 and also for the big ODI World Cup in India at the end of the year.

Therefore, there is a possibility that Bumrah will return directly to play during Mumbai Indians’ campaign at the IPL this year where his workload will be monitored.

Upset with Bumrah consistently missing national duties and instead featuring in IPLs, fans rapped the Gujarat pacer via memes for giving importance to franchise cricket and skipping India matches to be fully fit for the cash-rich league.
