Jasprit Bumrah Front-Runner For BCCI's Arjuna Award Nomination: Report

India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is expected to be the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s nomination for the prestigious Arjuna Award this year after losing to senior all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja in 2019, PTI reported.

In the women’s team, all-rounder Deepti Sharma is a front-runner along with pacer Shikha Pandey, who is also a Squadron Leader with the Indian Air force.

The BCCI office-bearers are expected to zero in on nominations for the men’s and women’s categories later this month. Bumrah’s stupendous performances over the last few years makes him a worthy candidate.
