Team India and the Mumbai Indians have been dealt a major blow with the news that their star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who has been suffering from a back injury, will be out for several months. According to reports, the right arm fast bowler will miss the entire 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as well as the World Test Championships final in June as he continues to recover from a back injury.

With the cricketer forced to withdraw due to injury, the question is who will replace the star pacer in the lineups for both the national team and the Mumbai Indians. Twitterati appeared to have come up with a hilarious solution to the problem, and they may have found the ideal replacement in Bollywood actor Bobby Deol.

A video of Bobby Deol bowling for the Mumbai Heroes in the Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) has gone viral, in which he can be seen bowling medium pace deliveries with an action similar to Jasprit Bumrah. One Twitter user suggested “Lord Bobby Deol should be called in as a replacement for Bumrah by Mumbai Indians”.





Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the Asia Cup 2022 due to a back injury. He was rushed back into the squad for the T20I series against Australia at home before the T20 World Cup, and he has not played cricket for the past five months. Bumrah was named to the squad for the ODI series against Sri Lanka in January but was forced to withdraw due to illness.

According to the report, Jasprit Bumrah felt some pain while bowling at the National Cricket Academy (NCA), where he was recovering from his injury. The Indian team wants Bumrah back before the Asia Cup 2023 in September.
