Bumrah's Injury Scare: Kohli Takes Charge

A concerning development unfolded during the fifth Test as India's captain and key bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, left the field due to a niggle. Bumrah was seen consulting with Virat Kohli before departing for scans at a local hospital. The nature and severity of the injury remain unclear, but reports suggest a possible recurrence of a previous back issue. Bumrah had earlier made history by surpassing Bishan Singh Bedi's record for most wickets by an Indian bowler in Australia. His absence poses a significant challenge for India, especially given Rohit Sharma's prior decision to step aside. Kohli assumed captaincy duties, making immediate bowling changes that yielded crucial breakthroughs. The team awaits updates on Bumrah's condition, hoping for a swift recovery. His potential absence could significantly impact the remainder of the Test and the series outcome. Stay ahead with the latest updates on Playinexch! Get Expert Cricket Analysis.
