South African cricket legend AB de Villiers has lauded the return of Indian pace sensation Jasprit Bumrah to the T20I lineup for the forthcoming Asia Cup. However, De Villiers speculates that Bumrah might not participate in every game.

De Villiers, speaking on his YouTube channel, praised Bumrah's readiness and the selectors' foresight in managing the pacer's workload. Bumrah's effective use in critical matches reflects strategic planning by the team management, keeping Bumrah refreshed for pivotal encounters.
