Bumrah responded to Hardik's post, praising him for both his action and the celebration.

Krunal Pandya and Kieron Pollard both reacted to the video by writing "Zlatan", referring to Swedish football icon Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Hardik, Krunal and Pollard formed the core of the Mumbai Indians lineup along with Bumrah until the last season, when Hardik was snapped up by Gujarat Titans and Krunal bought in the auction by Lucknow Super Giants.

While Hardik Pandya has been named in India's squad for the upcoming Asia Cup, Jasprit Bumrah will miss the event due to a back injury. He is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.

On Tuesday, the pacer had uploaded a video of his recovery process on social media. In the shared clip on Instagram, Bumrah could be seen jumping hurdles and throwing the ball as he looked to be match-fit again.

In Bumrah's absence in Asia Cup, specialist bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan will form the Indian pace attack with Hardik also being available to roll his arms over.
