<h2>Where is Bumrah?</h2>
<p>The Indian quick Jasprit Bumrah is currently nursing a back injury he sustained during the final BGT Test against Australia Down Under. Though he bowled a bit before stumps on day one at the SCG, he left the field for regular test after throwing eight overs across two spells early on day two.</p>
<p>Bumrah played all five Tests, captaining India in two, out of which the visitors won one. He bowled over 150 overs across nine innings, picking 32 wickets &ndash; the most by an Indian bowler in one Test series in Australia.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, upon regular checkups, where at least he avoided any stress fracture on his back, Bumrah was advised five-week bed rest by the BCCI medical staff, ruling him out of the series decider in Sydney, which India lost, conceding the series (1-3). That, however, also put his participation in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in serious jeopardy.</p>
