The big blow for Team India! Their most reliable and match-winning pacer, and captain for this match, has left the field and stadium to undergo a scan for his injury.
The specifics of Bumrah’s injuries remain uncertain, but reports indicate that the Indian captain appeared to be struggling at the start of Day 2. Despite this, the 31-year-old pacer troubled the Australian batters during the first session and successfully dismissed Marnus Labuschagne.
Fans bash BCCI for workload management failure
Indian fans are concerned about Bumrah’s fitness and have criticized the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for failing to implement proper workload management, as several Indian pacers, including Mohammed Shami, are suffering from injuries and are out of the team.
