Bumrah's injury came to light during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, particularly during the final Test match at the Sydney Cricket Ground, where he could only bowl 10 overs in the first innings before being sidelined due to back spasms. Subsequent medical examinations revealed swelling, leading to his immediate withdrawal from the game and further assessments.
A senior BCCI official, as per reports: "Yes, it's concerning Jasprit Bumrah's injury. He is back in rehab and will get the best medical advice available. The problem is it's his old injury and that is what is concerning."
The cricketing fraternity, fans, and experts alike are now watching closely, hoping for a swift recovery for Bumrah, as his presence could prove pivotal in India's quest for another Champions Trophy title. However, the immediate focus for the BCCI and the team will be on adapting and showcasing the strength of their squad in Bumrah's absence during the group stages.
