Shocking news for the Indian cricket team. Team India pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the upcoming Sydney Test.
According to the report, Bumrah had to leave the field due to injury in the second day’s play and now he will not be able to play in the rest of the match.
This news is no less than a big blow for the Indian team, as Bumrah has been the most effective bowler of the team in this series.
How did Bumrah get out due to injury?
The accident happened with Jasprit Bumrah on the second day’s play. In the first session, he stayed out of the field for about 30 minutes, then came back and tried to bowl. But after bowling just one over, he felt uncomfortable. It was clear that something was wrong as Bumrah’s bowling was very slow.
He was bowling at a speed of 120 kmph, which is very low for him. He was then seen leaving the Sydney Cricket Ground for scans.
Bumrah’s absence will have an impact on the Indian team.
Jasprit Bumrah’s absence will be a big blow for Team India. He is the highest wicket-taker in this series and his 32 wickets is a record for any Indian bowler in a series in Australia. Bumrah also bowled brilliantly in the Sydney Test.
He took two crucial wickets in 10 overs, including the dangerous batsmen like Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne. Playing in all five matches of the series, Bumrah has so far bowled 908 balls.
In Bumrah’s absence, the responsibility of the team has now come on Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and Nitish Kumar Reddy.
The trio bowled well in the first innings to bundle out Australia for 181 and give the team a lead of 4 runs.
But Bumrah’s absence in the second innings will be felt clearly as he was single-handedly leading the bowling attack throughout the series. It was because of him that Team India had the opportunity to level the series.
There is no update on Jasprit Bumrah’s injury yet. But it is certain that he will not be able to play in the remaining match of the Sydney Test. This news is a big blow for Indian cricket fans as Bumrah is not only the captain of the team but also the most influential player in this series.
Suggestions from experts
Cricket experts believe that the team will miss a match-winner like Bumrah, especially when it comes to bowling in the death overs. Now Rohit Sharma will have to hope for a better performance from the rest of the bowlers of his team so that the team can recover from this blow and return to the match.
However, the absence of Jasprit Bumrah in this crucial match going on at the Sydney Cricket Ground will prove to be a big challenge for the team.
