Indian national cricket team fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah had a disappointing end to what was the best series for him in Australia. The fast bowler got injured in the last match of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney, and since then, his injury has become a big talking point.
After playing 5 matches continuously in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Jasprit Bumrah’s body finally gave up in the last match. The Indian national cricket team fast bowler suffered a back spasm midway through the match and underwent scans, after which he did not come out to play.
Jasprit Bumrah was injured ahead of the Sydney to Melbourne Test
The extent of Bumrah’s injury is not known, but it is learned that the damage to the speedster was done well before the Sydney Test. According to Fox Cricket reports, it is learned that the fast bowler was injured during the fourth Test of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which took place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne.
Due to the lack of support, skipper Rohit Sharma asked Bumrah to make continuous outings in the fourth Test. The first pacer bowled around 8-9 spells as the other fast bowlers did not look in good form. Even skipper Rohit Sharma asked him to do another one.
But he said no, he said “Bas abhi. Nahi lag raha hai zor”. (That’s enough. I can’t push anymore). It was learned that this was the time when the vice-captain of the Indian National Cricket Team experienced some discomfort, which became severe during the last match of the series in Sydney.
Jasprit Bumrah looked very exhausted after Day 4 of the Melbourne Test
Reports added that when the stumps were called on day 4 of the game, Jasprit Bumrah looked very exhausted. As all the other players returned, he was all alone in the middle of the pitch at the MCG. He hunched over for a few seconds, his hands on his knees, gasping for air.
The added baggage of workload surely took its toll on the vice-captain of the Indian national cricket team. The Fox Cricket report said: “The damage was done, though it wouldn’t become apparent for almost another week. India had cooked their golden goose.”
The extent of Jasprit Bumrah’s back spasm is not known
During that Melbourne Test, Jasprit Bumrah bowled 53.2 overs, the most he has bowled in a single Test. Overall in the series, the pacer bowled more than 150 overs, and at the end of the last match, where he bowled only 10 overs, his back pain flared up, leaving the team worried.
The extent of Bumrah’s back spasm is not known, but if it is in the Grade 1 category, it will require a minimum of two to three weeks of rehabilitation. At grade 2, it can take up to six weeks, while grade 3 requires a minimum of three months of rest and rehabilitation programs.
