With Team India fighting on to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, and battling it out to secure a possible spot in the 2025 WTC final, Bumrah’s injury has left Indian cricket fans gravely worried, as evidenced by the recent reactions on social media.

Moreover, several fans are even praying for Bumrah’s speedy recovery, and hoping that the fast bowler makes his way to the field as soon as possible, especially with the 2025 Champions Trophy on the horizon.

As it happened, former skipper Virat Kohli assumed India’s captaincy duties after the fast bowler made his way out of the field. Kohli’s troops prevented the Australian tail from flourishing further as the likes of Nitish Kumar Reddy and Mohammed Siraj kept the hosts down to just 181 in their first innings.

Notably, Jasprit Bumrah took field at the SCG as India’s captain only after regular skipper Rohit Sharma opted himself out of the playing XI owing to his form issues.
