Besides time with family, Jasprit Bumrah also ensures he meets his friends.

The bowler shares how he spends his time away from the game.

Indian bowler, Jasprit Bumrah at an event in Mumbai a few weeks ago was getting set to get back to the game. The 26-year-old has been recovering from an injury. He shared how he spends his time away from cricket when he is at home.

"I usually do not get a lot of time to spend with my family. So when I am home, I try to do that. I try to spend as much time as I can with my mother and sister as I don't get to meet them much," he said.

Besides time with family, the cricketer also ensures he meets his friends. The pacer has made some good friends in the Indian national team, but his childhood friends still come over to spend time with him, when he back home in Ahmedabad.

"I also make sure to meet my friends and spend time with them, roam around with them. They come home, we play on the Playstation, listen to music, go for movies as well. This is what I look to do," he said.
