Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah start batting and bowling, in race against time to get fit for Cricket World Cup 2023

• Briefly, BCCI has provided an update on important Indian players.
• According to BCCI, Rishabh Pant has begun batting in the nets.
• Jasprit Bumrah has been bowling with all of his might, the BCCI was informed in the update.

Five Indian cricket players are now receiving medical attention and fitness updates from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. The Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah has begun to bowl in the nets, and Rishabh Pant has significantly advanced and begun to bat indoors, according to the BCCI. India currently has a number of players sidelined with reoccurring ailments, including members of the first squad Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and Prasidh Krishna.

"He (Rishabh Pant) has made important strides in his recovery, and he has started to bat and keep in the nets. Running, strength training, and flexibility exercises are all part of the fitness regimen he is now pursuing, according to the BCCI statement on Pant.

Jasprit Bumrah has reportedly resumed bowling in the nets with all of his previous vigour, according to the BCCI. For Indian cricket fans who were disappointed not to see Bumrah in the 2022 championship, this is a significant development.

"The two fast bowlers are bowling as hard as they can in the nets as they near the end of their rehabilitation. The NCA will now plan a few practise matches for the pair to play. The BCCI Medical Team is happy with their development and will make a final determination after evaluating them following the practise matches, according to the BCCI.

One of the best bowlers in the world and a crucial member of Team India, Jasprit Bumrah, has struggled with a number of injuries in recent years. Since September 2022, his most recent setback—a back injury—has prevented him from performing. Surgery was necessary in New Zealand since the injury was serious enough to require it, and Bumrah recovered painlessly. Bumrah has been undergoing extensive rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, but the recuperation process has been drawn out and difficult. It has been determined that Bumrah's distinctive bowling motion, which produces speed from his shoulders and back, is a key role in his ongoing ailments. Despite this, he is devoted to getting better and is moving forward steadily. Bumrah is reportedly bowling seven overs every day in the NCA nets as of June 2023, a major increase from his earlier short workouts and bowling sessions.

The bowler hasn't played since September 2022, when he was forced to get healthy quickly for the T20 World Cup.

On the other hand, late in December 2022, Rishabh Pant discovered himself in a terrible circumstance. The young wicketkeeper-batsman was hurt in a vehicle crash and required many surgeries. According to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Pant has abrasions on his back, a ligament injury in his right knee, and cuts on his forehead. The wrist, ankle, and toe of his right foot were also hurt.

Pant was driving his automobile by himself when the tragedy happened. He shattered the Mercedes windscreen in an effort to escape the flaming car. Despite the seriousness of his wounds, Pant was able to free himself from the rubble, displaying his unbreakable spirit and determination to live.

Following the incident, Pant started a difficult recovery process. He required considerable medical care and rehabilitation because his wounds were so serious. Given the physical demands of his position as a wicketkeeper-batsman, the ligament damage in his right knee was especially worrisome. Pant, however, showed the same grit and steadfastness that have defined his cricket career, and he remained unfazed.

Pant's recuperation journey was challenging and included demanding physiotherapy sessions and a stringent exercise routine. He was determined to restore his strength and return to the cricket pitch despite the agony and suffering. His tenacity and commitment were absolutely admirable, and they served as an example to many.

Pant received an outpouring of support from both cricket players and fans during this challenging time. He was greatly lifted and inspired to continue through the difficulties by their kind wishes and encouragement.

Pant's current recuperation is evidence to his tenacity and perseverance. Despite the odds, he has made a remarkable recovery and is now ready to play cricket again. His post-recovery performance has been nothing short of amazing, demonstrating that he is still a formidable force in the cricket world.

The BCCI also provided an update on two Indian hitters, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, stating that they were participating in strength and conditioning exercises.

They are currently engaged in strength and conditioning exercises and have resumed hitting in the nets. The BCCI Medical Team is pleased with their development and will up their intensity in the next days in terms of both skills and strength and conditioning, according to the press release.
