Big blow for Team India, THIS star cricketer is injured in SCG Test and went for scans, now will be…

India vs Australia LIVE Score, 5th Test Day 2: Injury Scare for Jasprit Bumrah

India’s worst fear may have come true as captain Jasprit Bumrah was seen leaving the Sydney Cricket Ground during Day 2 of the 5th Test, heading towards the hospital for scans. After bowling just one over in the second session, Bumrah was seen having a long conversation with Virat Kohli, following which he walked off the field. Kohli seems to have stepped in to take over the captaincy in his absence.

Bumrah Leaves for Scans Amid Injury Concern

In another dramatic moment, footage surfaced of Bumrah getting into a van in the SCG parking lot, reminiscent of a tense WWE promo. This unplanned turn of events has left India in a precarious position, as they had hoped for a different narrative when recounting the series in future years.

Krishna’s Moment of Magic Breaks Carey’s Stumps

Meanwhile, Prasidh Krishna produced a stunning delivery that bowled Australia’s Carey out. After a couple of close calls, Krishna bowled a fuller delivery that sneaked between Carey’s bat and pad to disturb the stumps, adding a crucial wicket for India. Kohli led the team in a passionate celebration as India looked to capitalize on the breakthrough.

Limited Bowling Options for India

With Bumrah off the field, India has limited bowling options at their disposal. While the team still has two spinners, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, the absence of their lead pacer is a major blow. Mohammed Siraj continues to bowl, but India’s options seem stretched as they battle against a growing Australian partnership.
