SYDNEY: India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah left the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) midway through the second session on day two of the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia here on Saturday.
Bumrah, who was leading the Indian team in the fifth Test after Rohit Sharma was rested, was possibly headed for hospital scans.
He left the field shortly before lunch but reappeared after the break and bowled one over. But his speed was clearly down and he went off again.
TV pictures showed him in his training kit with medical staff, getting in a car and driving out of the ground. Commentators suggested he was going for scans for an unknown injury.
After the day’s play, Prasidh Krishna revealed that Bumrah was suffering from back spasms.
“Yes, he had a back spasm. He had gone for scans,” Prasidh said. “The medical team is monitoring him. So we will know whenever the medical team gets back to us,” he said when asked if Bumrah would bowl in the final innings of the series.
The visitors need to win the match to retain the Border-Gavaskar trophy, with Bumrah their key strike bowler. Jasprit Bumrah has taken 2-33 so far in Australia’s first innings with the match finely poised.
