India’s right-arm pacer Jasprit Bumrah suffered a significant injury on Day 2 of the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia at Adelaide Oval on Saturday.
While delivering his 20th birth, Bumrah suddenly expressed discomfort in his leg after four deliveries.
Physiotherapists attended to him immediately, with three staff members working on his groin and shoulder as he winced in pain.
After a brief break, Bumrah got up but Travis Head hit a four on him.
Fortunately, the 31-year-old regained his momentum and dismissed captain Pat Cummins when he hit the stumps in the 84th minute.
Earlier in the day, Bumrah began his spell by dismissing opener Usman Khawaja for 13, Nathan McSweeney for 39 and Steven Smith down the leg side for 2. The visitors’ pace attack was effective, restricting the hosts to 337 runs off 87 .3 balances.
Meanwhile, the second day of the Pink Ball Test ended with India at 128/5 in 24 overs. Wicket batsman Rishabh Pant (28) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (15) will resume their second innings on Day 3.
On the bowling front, Mitchell Starc took one wicket while Pat Cummins and Scott Boland took two each on day two.
