We didn’t really perform tonight. You can’t afford to do that in a tournament like this. Full credit to South Africa, they beat us tonight. This World Cup has been on our minds for a long time. We worked really hard in the off-season, fixing some things. We were really ready to come here. Felt like we left no stone unturned, we just didn’t perform well tonight. We found it very difficult, South Africa bowled very well, slowed down the pace and they made it difficult for us to take risks. After half the game, we thought it was 140-150, but South Africa batted so well and it felt like it was a completely different wicket.

(Image Source: Getty Images/IPL) Indian Premier League 2024: Indian cricket team’s leading fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah (jasprit bumrah) has passed the five-match Test series against England without any injury, and now every fan will be hoping that he spends the next three months of IPL 2024 in a similar manner, because after that the ICC T- 20 World Cup 2024 is to be played. Meanwhile, before the IPL 2024 starting from March 22, Australian legend Glenn McGrath has advised Jasprit Bumrah to keep taking breaks in between to avoid injury in the coming days. Because his bowling action, run-up and steps can cause him injury. Glenn McGrath warns Jasprit Bumrah According to PTI, Glenn McGrath, speaking at the MRF Pace Foundation, said: “The last two steps that Jasprit Bumrah takes while bowling the ball are just putting power into the crease. Thus, its speed increases, and this is where it gets its speed. A player like Bumrah needs an off-season because he puts a lot of himself into every ball. Due to putting in so much effort he needs a break. If he continues to play, there will be a lot of pressure on him given his bowling action, due to which he is bound to get injured, as has happened before.” Jasprit Bumrah will join MI camp on this date Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah has not yet joined the Mumbai Indians (MI) camp and now it is being said that the star fast bowler will be in Ahmedabad for his first IPL 2024 match against Gujarat Titans (GT) on March 21 on March 24. Will join the team. Bumrah has been on a break since the fifth Test played against England in Dharamshala. However, he is super fit and available for selection. A source with knowledge of the matter was quoted by News18 as saying, “Yes, Jasprit Bumrah will directly join MI in Ahmedabad on March 21. He will have to practice well there for two-three days before the first match against Gujarat Titans on March 24.”
