Jasprit Bumrah suddenly walked out of the field during Australia’s first innings on the second day of the Sydney Test match. He was taken to the hospital, where he was also scanned. However, Bumrah returned to the field during Team India’s batting.
The Sydney Test match between India and Australia has reached an exciting stage. Only 2 days of play have taken place and two innings have been completed, whereas in the third innings also Team India has lost 6 wickets. Despite this, Team India has taken a lead of 145 runs. But the biggest challenge for Team India is the fitness of team captain and star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. On the second day of the match, Bumrah suddenly left the field and went to the hospital, due to which the heartbeats of the Indian team and fans increased. Now it has come to light that Bumrah has suffered back pain and the medical team is monitoring him.
Got an update on Bumrah’s fitness
The second day of the last Test of the series was played on Saturday 4 January at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). The Australian team started moving forward in its first innings. In the first session of the day, Bumrah bowled brilliantly and also took the wicket of Marnus Labuschagne. Then after playing for some time in the second session, he suddenly walked out of the field. Seeing this scene, the fans of Team India also became tense. Bumrah was seen leaving the dressing room in a training jersey instead of the match kit and then leaving the stadium in a car with the team physio.
When Team India started batting in the second innings, Bumrah returned to the stadium after some time but everyone was waiting to know what his injury was. This too came out stumped the next day. In the press conference, fast bowler Prishan Krishna gave an update on Bumrah’s fitness and said that he is suffering from back pain. “Bumrah felt back spasms due to which he was taken for a scan,” Ishman said. The medical team is monitoring him.
Will Bumrah bowl again?
Hishan did not tell how serious the situation is but questions are being raised whether Bumrah will be able to bowl in the second innings. According to a report, Bumrah may come out to bat in the second innings. At present, his injury is not said to be very serious and in such a situation, he will come out to bat if needed. As far as bowling is concerned, the decision will be taken on the third morning or when it is the bowlers’ turn.
Will Team India take this risk?
Bumrah has been the most successful bowler for both the teams in this series and has bowled consistently. In such a situation, Team India will need him. But the dilemma before Team India is whether Bumrah should be fielded for bowling even after half fitness or not. The dilemma is because Team India not only has to play this one Test match but also has to enter the Champions Trophy next month and their success there will largely depend on Bumrah’s bowling.
In such a situation, if Bumrah’s injury becomes serious, he may have to sit out for several days, which can prove fatal for Team India. It is also important to remember that before Bumrah’s stellar performances in the last one and a half years, he was out for a year due to a back injury. In such a situation, Team India would not want Bumrah to suffer such an injury again and remain out for a long time.
