Hardik Pandya took to social media to show his support for teammate Jasprit Bumrah, who has been ruled out of the T20 World Cup 2022. India’s ace pacer Bumrah, who made his comeback in the Australian T20I after being sidelined for a long period due to an injury, has sustained a back injury.

The injury will see him out of service in the marquee event and it’s a big blow to the Men in Blue as the right-handed pacer has been the go-to man in any situation. It wouldn’t be unfair to say that it would hurt India’s chances of winning the title. They are already going through a rough patch as the death over bowling has not been up to the mark in their last couple of games.

Hardik Pandya took to Twitter to show his support for Bumrah, who will miss his second consecutive multi-nation event. “My Jassi Come back stronger like you always do@Jaspritbumrah93,” Pandya wrote.

Though there were speculations about whether the 28-year-old could regain his fitness, the BCCI on Monday (October 3), confirmed that the pacer will miss the marquee event. “The BCCI Medical team has ruled out Team India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup squad. The decision was taken following a detailed assessment and in consultation with the specialists,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a statement.
