Jasprit Bumrah breaks silence on his back injury after winning Player-of-the-Series award: 'You can't fight your body'

Hindustan Times  

India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who led the team in the fifth and final match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Sydney after regular sipper Rohit Sharma ‘opted out’, broke silence on his back injury on Sunday, as he rued missing out bowling on the "spiciest wicket" against Australia in the final innings. India's Jasprit Bumrah attends a warmup session before the start of day three of the fifth Test match between Australia and India at the Sydney Cricket Ground on January 5, 2025 "Sometimes you have to respect your body, you can’t fight your body. When pressed when he realised the injury concern, Bumrah added: “Felt a bit of discomfort during my second spell in the first innings.” Bumrah, who led the Indian team for the second time in the contest and third in Test career, had suffered the injury on day 2 of the fifth Test and was immediately taken to the hospital in an ambulance for a scan. In the absence of Bumrah, India, led by Virat Kohli, did produce a glimmer of hope after Prasidh Krishna snared three quick wickets, which included Steve Smith falling agonisingly one short of becoming only the 15th player and fourth Australian to reach 10,000 Test runs.
