India national cricket team fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah ended his best-of series in Australia on a disappointing note. The fast bowler was injured during the final match of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney and his injury has become a huge topic since then.
After playing 5 consecutive games in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Jasprit Bumrah’s body finally gave up in the last game. The premier fast bowler of the Indian national cricket team suffered back spasms mid-match and underwent scans, after which he did not come out to bowl.
Jasprit Bumrah inflicts harm on herself ahead of Melbourne-Sydney exams
The extent of Bumrah’s injury is not yet known, but it is understood the damage to the speedster was done well before the Sydney test. According to Fox Cricket, the fast bowler suffered the injury during the fourth Test of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Skipper Rohit Sharma asked Bumrah to bowl continuously in the fourth Test due to lack of support. The chief pacer bowled around 8-9 overs while the other fast bowlers looked out of shape. Captain Rohit Sharma even asked him to bowl one more over.
But he refused outright and said “Bas abhi. Nahi lag raha hai zor”. (That’s enough for now. I can’t push for more). It is understood that the vice-captain of the Indian national cricket team was feeling some discomfort at the time and it worsened during the final match of the series in Sydney.

The extra workload has undoubtedly taken its toll on the vice-captain of the Indian national cricket team. “Fox Cricket” reported: “The damage has been done, although it will not be obvious for another week. India has cooked its golden goose.”
The extent of Jasprit Bumrah’s back spasms remains unclear
