However, the star bowler made a comeback in August last year, with a T20I series against Ireland, and hasn’t looked back since.
He was one of the best performers in India’s run to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 final, picking up 20 wickets at an average of 18.65 with an economy bordering merely four.
Having returned just months before the global megaevent, Bumrah focused on a simple philosophy that helped smoothen his comeback.
“Because (certain) things will go my way.
(Certain) things will not go my way.

Having returned just months before the global megaevent, Bumrah focused on a simple philosophy that helped smoothen his comeback.
“Since I have come back from my injury, I have only focused on enjoying the game as much as I can,” Bumrah added, trying to focus on the process rather than the uncertainty surrounding the game.
“Because (certain) things will go my way. (Certain) things will not go my way.
“All of these things will be a part of my process. So I have just realised that I started playing this sport. Because I love this sport.
“And I will focus on that rather than the end result. So in that aspect you reduce your pressure. And you enjoy the sport.
“When you focus on those things. Rather than the things you cannot control.”
