Jasprit Bumrah’s potential injury has cast a shadow over what should have been a celebratory day for Indian cricket. The pace spearhead, who earlier made history by claiming his 32nd wicket of the series – the most by any Indian bowler in a series on Australian soil – was seen leaving the ground with support staff after the lunch session, sparking concerns among fans and teammates alike.

Bumrah, who had been in phenomenal form throughout the series, was observed departing the field in his training gear and heading to the hospital for precautionary scans. His absence from the bowling attack for the remainder of the day’s play is a significant setback for the Indian team, who have relied heavily on his exceptional skill and consistency. His record-breaking performance in this series, surpassing all previous Indian bowlers in Australia, has been a masterclass in pace bowling, combining precise line and length with clever variations. Virat Kohli has been made the on ground capatin in Bumrah’s absence.
The cricket community now anxiously awaits news of his condition, hoping this is merely a precautionary measure rather than a serious concern. Given Bumrah’s importance to the Indian bowling unit and his remarkable form, his potential return tomorrow will be crucial for India’s prospects in this match and the remainder of the series.
