Bumrah was also seen leaving the ground during the second day of the Sydney test. He was taken to the hospital for the scans as we could very well see the toll on his body and it is more necessary than anytime that Jasprit Bumrah should have some rest before the Champions Trophy 2025. In the midst of this all we must not forget about Siraj that he should be rested for time as well. Bowling a total of 671 overs is not everyone’s cup of tea afterall.
