Jasprit Bumrah Injury: Jasprit Bumrah suffered this injury, will he be able to bowl in the second innings?

The Sydney Test match being played between India and Australia has reached an exciting stage. Only 2 days of play have been completed and in that too two innings have been completed, while in the third innings 6 wickets of Team India fell. However, despite this, Team India has taken a lead of 145 runs. But the biggest challenge for Team India is the fitness of the team captain and star pacer Jaspreet Bumrah. On the second day of the match, Bumrah suddenly left the field and went to the hospital, which increased the heartbeat of the Indian team and fans. Now it has been revealed that Bumrah has back pain and the medical team is keeping an eye on him.

Update received on Bumrah's fitness

The second day of the last Test of the series was played at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Saturday, January 4. The Australian team started to advance their first innings. In the first session of the day, Bumrah bowled a lot and also got the wicket of Marnus Labuschagne. Then in the second session, after playing for some time, he suddenly left the field. Seeing this scene, Team India fans also got tensed. Bumrah was seen coming out of the dressing room in a training jersey instead of the match kit and then he left the stadium in a car with the team physio.

When Team India started batting in the second innings, Bumrah returned to the stadium shortly after that but everyone was just waiting to know what injury he had suffered. It was also revealed after stumps on the second day. Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna, who came to the press conference, gave an update on Bumrah's fitness and told that he is suffering from back spasm. Prasidh said, "Bumrah felt back spasm, due to which he was taken for a scan. The medical team is keeping an eye on him."

Prasidh did not say how serious the situation is but it has raised questions whether Bumrah will be able to bowl in the second innings? Bumrah has been the most successful bowler among both the teams in this series and he has bowled consistently. In such a situation, Team India is going to need him. But the dilemma before Team India is whether to field Bumrah with half fitness or not. This dilemma is because Team India not only has to play this one Test match but also has to play in the Champions Trophy next month and its success there will largely depend on Bumrah's bowling.

In such a situation, if Bumrah's injury is serious, then he may have to sit out for many days, which will prove fatal for Team India. Also, it is important to remember that before the amazing performance that Bumrah has shown in the last one and a half years, he was out of the field for a year and the reason for that was a back injury. In such a situation, Team India would not want Bumrah to suffer from such an injury again and remain out for a long time.
