NEW DELHI: India pacer Prasidh Krishna provided a major update on star pacer Jasprit Bumrah at the end of Day 2 of the fifth and final Test match at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday.
Krishna, who claimed three wickets, said that Bumrah had suffered a back spasm.
Bumrah was forced to leave the field after bowling just one over in the post-lunch session on Saturday. He departed, and official broadcasters showed him leaving the venue with the team doctor and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) integrity manager Anshuman Upadhyay, as reported by TimesofIndia.com.

Bumrah was off the field for two-and-a-half hours, but his return eased concerns within the Indian camp ahead of Australia’s second innings.

The pacer has already taken 32 wickets in the series and had figures of 2/33 in 10 overs, having removed Marnus Labuschagne in the morning session.
“Bumrah had a back spasm. He went for scans, and the medical team is monitoring him. We will know more once the medical team gets back to us,” Krishna said.
In Bumrah’s absence, Virat Kohli led the side.
“I think no matter who is leading, as a team, we prepare really well about what we need to do when we go in as a bowling unit. So, the plan was pretty clear, whether Bumrah was on or Virat was on. Not much changed that way.”
Krishna bowled 15 overs, claimed three wickets, and conceded 42 runs to help India bowl Australia out for 181.
He was the standout bowler, playing a crucial role in breaking two key partnerships. He dismissed Steve Smith (33), Alex Carey (21), and also removed the dangerous Beau Webster.
“To be learning every single day, whether at practice or when watching others play, feels great. Now that I’ve gotten a chance, honestly, I haven’t really thought about how much time I’ve missed off cricket. I’ve been off it for some time now, with two injuries in two years, but it definitely feels great. Hopefully, we keep doing this as I remain on the field for longer.”
