The Indian national cricket team suffered a heavy blow in the ongoing fifth test against the Australian national cricket team. According to reports in RevSportz, it has been learned that Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the rest of the ongoing Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney.
Indian national cricket team captain Jasprit Bumrah got injured midway through the second day of the ongoing test against the Australian national cricket team. The superb fast bowler left the field after lunch and did not return to the ground.

In the first sessions, Jasprit Bumrah left the field for about 30 minutes, but returned to bowling in the second innings. The first pacer bowled only one and felt discomfort. It was also quite visible as he dropped off velocity and was throwing around 120 seconds, which was very low by his standards.
However, afterwards Indian national cricket team captain Jasprit Bumrah was seen walking out of the Sydney Cricket Ground. The speedster was going for a scan in the car as the broadcasters released a video of it, fueling speculation about the premier pacer’s availability for the rest of the game.
Although the nature and severity of the injury is not yet known, it is learned that Bumrah is fit for the ongoing fifth Test. The captain of the Indian national cricket team will not feature further in the second innings at the SCG.

Jasprit Bumrah’s absence will be a big blow for the Indian cricket team
The absence of Bumrah to bowl in the second innings will be a big blow for the Indian cricket team. This is because the fast bowler has single-handedly carried the bowling line-up in the series and it is only thanks to him that the team has a chance to draw the tie.
Bumrah is the leading wicket-taker in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The Indian captain took 32 wickets, the most by an Indian bowler in a series in Australia. Even in the current game, he fumbled with the ball.

Bumrah bowled 10 overs in the innings and claimed two wickets. The team captain removed Usman Khawaja overnight after a scuffle with Sam Konstas and then removed Marnus Labuschagne to lead his side with the ball on day two.
Bumrah, who has played all five matches in the series, has scored 908 runs so far. In his absence in the first innings, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and Nitish Kumar Reddy stepped up and helped the team bundle out the Australian National Cricket Team for 181 runs, taking a 4-run lead.
