The final match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is being played at the Sydney Cricket Ground. In this match, India is being captained by Jasprit Bumrah, who has been the most successful bowler of the series so far. However, on the second day of the game, Bumrah suddenly left the field. He bowled brilliantly in the first session of the second day and even took a wicket. But after lunch, something happened that caused Indian fans’ hearts to race.
Bumrah Left the Sydney Ground
After lunch, Jasprit Bumrah was not seen on the field. He was spotted leaving the ground with the support staff, and notably, he was not in the Indian team jersey. Instead, he was wearing training kit. This led to speculation that Bumrah might be facing some kind of issue. He was also seen in a car outside the ground. In fact, Bumrah has suffered an injury and has been sent for a scan with the team staff. He spoke to Virat Kohli before leaving the field, and later, official broadcasters showed him leaving the ground with the team’s security contact officer, Anshuman Upadhyay, and the team doctor.
Jasprit Bumrah has taken 32 wickets in this series so far. Therefore, his departure from the field is a huge blow to Team India. In the current Sydney Test, Bumrah had bowled 10 overs and taken 2 wickets, indicating that he was in good form. With Bumrah’s absence, the responsibility of captaincy has now been taken over by Virat Kohli, while the burden of bowling falls on Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna.
This Injury has Troubled Bumrah Repeatedly
Jasprit Bumrah has been struggling with a back injury for a long time. Last year, he underwent successful surgery for a back issue in Christchurch, New Zealand. He had sustained this injury in June 2022, which caused him to miss the T20 World Cup 2022. Due to this injury, he had to stay out of action for a long period. Indian fans are now hoping that this latest injury to Bumrah is not too serious.
