Jasprit Bumrah much like other sports personalities in the country has urged people to stay indoors in the fight against COVID-19. The fast bowler has been spending time at home since the Indian Premier League got postponed.

Recently, Bumrah was involved in a fun chat with Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma. The two went on to talk about the toughest challenges that they faced to players who have made a positive impact on their careers.

Bumrah told Rohit that Lasith Malinga has helped him improve mentally and has taught him how to remain calm in tough situations. During their chat, they also made fun of Rishabh Pant who had been challenging Rohit Sharma for a six-hitting competition.

Earlier in the year, Jasprit Bumrah made his comeback to the national side after being out for nearly four months. He returned in the three-match ODI series against Australia at home. The pacer had suffered from a stress fracture in his lower back in the series against South Africa back in September 2019.
