Bumrah abandonó el campo minutos después de que comenzara la segunda sesión del segundo día.
It doesn’t happen often that you lose not one but two captains in one game. That’s exactly what happened with the Indian cricket team at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Before the start of the India vs Australia 5th Test, Rohit Sharma dropped himself, and in between the match, interim captain Jasprit Bumrah sustained a back injury that ruled him out of the last one and a half days of the match.
Injury rules Jasprit Bumrah out
Bumrah had suffered a back spasm after throwing down over 150 overs, the most for any Indian bowler, in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He did come out to bat in the final batting innings for Team India and also managed to face three deliveries before getting out.
When it was time to come out and defend 162 runs at the SCG, unfortunately, Bumrah wasn’t there. Virat Kohli took over as the captain and led the side into the middle. An all-time great series by a bowler in history and a chance to end the India vs Australia Test series 2-2, ruined by an injury sustained less than 2 days before it all ended.
