India captain Jasprit Bumrah left the Sydney Test match midway on Day 2. Bumrah, who has bowled in all 5 matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 was forced to leave after a back issue forced him out of the attack in the second session on Saturday, January 4.

Bumrah was seen leaving the stadium in a van along with the support staff of the Indian team. Sources told India Today that Bumrah went to get back scans at St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney. The sources further added that the Indian team will get to know the results of the scans by today evening, at the end of the day’s play.

“Bumrah was taken to a hospital in the Centennial Park area in Sydney. He has been taken to St Vincent’s Hospital. He has a back issue and that is being scanned right now. The team will get the report by evening,” sources told India Today.

In what is a worrying moment for Indian cricket team fans, captain Jasprit Bumrah has left the SCG during Day 2 of the Sydney Test on Saturday, January 4. Bumrah had bowled 8 overs on the day before leaving the field just after play resumed following the lunch break. The India captain picked up the wicket of Marnus Labuschagne in the seventh over of the Australia innings.

This wicket allowed Bumrah to break the 46-year-old record of Bishen Singh Bedi for the most wickets by an Indian bowler in a series in Australia as India looked to be in charge of things. However, the India captain went off the field after bowling one over after lunch. While it didn’t appear to be a serious issue at that time, Bumrah left the stadium along with the support staff and he wasn’t wearing his whites. The Indian pacer was seen in his training kit.
