    "editor1": "<p><strong>Guwahati, Jan 4:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Ace India pacer Jasprit Bumrah will be making a comeback on the field after a four-month break due to a stress fracture, but the 26-year-old feels it wasnt a difficult period for him. The pacer said that there was &#39;no pain&#39; and he utilised the time away from the game to work on his strength and conditioning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Virat Kohli-led team will take on Sri Lanka in the first T20I of the three-match rubber and Bumrah is likely to find a place in the playing XI. Speaking to bcci.tv on the long break, Bumrah said: &quot;It was not difficult for me as I was never in pain. Not even for a single day. I took it as an opportunity to build my strength.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I was always keeping a track on what is happening so when you are back in the team, you shouldn&#39;t be too far away.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bumrah also felt that playing all the three formats continuously affected his fitness and as a result, the break was necessary. &quot;When you play continuously, your strength level goes down. Your fitness level can also go down a little bit. So I was looking at how to bring the strength back, how to improve upon the things I wanted to improve.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;So take some time off and return fresh. Be hungry again. So all these things were on top of my mind. I am not looking too far ahead. I wanted to take one match at a time,&quot; expressed Bumrah.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The pacer meanwhile, also thanked the Indian support staff as they consistently monitores his rehabilitation work beside giving valuable inputs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Very good inputs (from bowling coach Bharat Arun). I was always in touch with the support staff. The team management also kept on asking me what was going on and how was I progressing. Constant monitoring was going on. They asked questions like what do you want to do now that you are back from break,&quot; Bumrah said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bumrah also looked satisfied after his first complete training session at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Friday and said: &quot;The intensity was very good, very high intensity, to the point where you do exactly what you wanted to do.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;At the fielding session, we covered all bases, we did the high catches, we did the run-out practice. And in the nets, we did spot bowling, practised bowling yorkers. We ticked all the boxes.&quot;<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
