BGT 2024-25: Jasprit Bumrah exits SCG field in an ambulance for scans

Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah was seen leaving the field on the second day of the ongoing fifth Test in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. He left the field with support staff, and as per reports, he might have gone for medical scans.

There have been no updates regarding whether Bumrah is injured or why he made an abrupt exit from the field. The Indian team would suffer a huge loss if Bumrah sustained an injury, considering the second innings is still left, and Bumrah would be a key player during that. In Bumrah’s absence, Virat Kohli took the role of stand-in skipper of the team. 

Cricket.com.au shared a video of Bumrah in the parking lot as he sat in a car before leaving the cricketing venue. Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri was doing the commentary when this moment was aired.

“Jasprit Bumrah has left the field. The big news from the SCG is that the mainstay of the Indian bowling attack has left the ground. Obviously going to see some doctor or for scans, one would get to know a little more, in a little while,” Shastri said in the commentary.

Bumrah makes history and surpasses Bishan Singh Bedi’s Record for Most Wickets

Earlier Bumrah bowled six overs in his first spell before taking a small break. He came back to bowl three more overs after the 15th over. In his final spell, he bowled the 31st over of the innings and left the field. 

Bumrah finished with two wickets for 33 runs in 10 overs and took two wickets. He had dismissed Usman Khawaja on the first day and took the wicket of Marnus Labuschagne on the second day.

The wicket of Labuschagne helped Bumrah take the most wickets in an overseas Test series for India. He went past legendary Indian spinner Bishan Singh Bedi. Bishan Singh took 31 wickets during India’s tour of Australia in 1977/78 at an average of 23.87.

Bumrah has taken 32 wickets in nine innings of the Border Gavaskar Trophy at an average of 13.06. The other Indian bowler on this list is Mohammed Siraj, who has taken 19 wickets in nine innings at an average of 29.15.

In conclusion, Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah's abrupt exit from the field during the second day of the fifth Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy has raised concerns about a potential injury. Bumrah left the field with support staff and was reportedly taken for medical scans. His absence would be a significant loss for the Indian team, especially with the second innings still to come. Despite this, Bumrah made history by surpassing Bishan Singh Bedi's record for the most wickets in an overseas Test series for India, taking 32 wickets in nine innings at an average of 13.06. The team will hope for a swift recovery and return for their captain.
