Jasprit Bumrah, India's pace bowling spearhead, was praised by former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop after the former's performance in the recently concluded Test series against Sri Lanka at home. Bumrah claimed 10 wickets in the two Tests in Mohali and Bengaluru which also included his first five-wicket haul in India. India won the first Test by an innings and 222 runs and followed it up with a 238-run victory in the second.

Sri Lanka skipper Dimuth Karunaratne fought a lone battle as the visitors suffered a crushing 238-run defeat to India, and also conceded the two-match series at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Immediately after leading the side to a 2-0 series win over Sri Lanka at home in Tests, captain Rohit Sharma joined the Mumbai Indians (MI) camp ahead of the start of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Mumbai Indians posted a video of Rohit's arrival where he was seen being greeted by head coach Mahela Jayawardene and other members of the support staff. However, this rendezvous began on a hilarious note as Jayawardene was quick to spot the "grey hair" on Rohit as he made a comment relating to the captaincy responsibilities of the Indian cricket team as well. "He has got more grey hair after beginning captaincy," joked Mahela as the Sri Lankan shook hands and shared a hug as the duo embark on another journey to reclaiming the IPL crown from defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
