Indian national cricket team fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been the talk of the town in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The top fast bowler was widely applauded for his heroics with the ball throughout the five-match Test series against the Australian national cricket team.
Jasprit Bumrah, who is captaining the Indian national cricket team in the ongoing Sydney Test, came under the radar on the second day of the match. While his injury was a hot topic, the Prime Minister was accused of also using sandpaper in the match.
In a video that has gone viral on the internet, Bumrah is seen putting on his shoes properly. But what caught the attention of many was something like sandpaper falling out of his shoes. However, the fast bowler took it in hand and tied his shoes again.

Accusing Bumrah of using sandpaper could be a big deal in the context of the series. With the video going viral on the internet, match officials are expected to get their hands on it and there are chances that the fast bowler could be questioned.
Jasprit Bumrah was the best fast bowler in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
Bumrah was the best fast bowler in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The top fast bowler is the leading wicket-taker in the ongoing five-match Test series and is one of the main reasons why the Indian national cricket team is fighting hard in the series and has a chance to pull out a draw.
Bumrah took 32 wickets in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. This is the most by any bowler from the Indian national cricket team in the series below. Also, he captained the team in Perth and is leading the team in the ongoing game, and he is doing a decent job.
Jasprit Bumrah suffered back spasms and went for a scan, call him to be taken to bowl how he feels on Sunday
But there are clouds hanging over Bumrah’s fitness in the ongoing game. The fast bowler felt discomfort while bowling on the second day of the ongoing Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground. It all started during the first session when the pacer left the field for 30 minutes.
Bumrah though came back to bowl in the second innings but bowled just one over. He dropped in speed while bowling in the middle 120s. The fast bowler then walked off the field and did not return to the ground as he was seen leaving for a scan in a car.
It was later revealed that Jasprit Bumrah had back spasms and went for preventive tests. There were reports claiming that he might come to bat and his availability to bowl would depend on how he feels tomorrow morning.
