He did not take the field for the remainder of the game including in the second innings when India desperately needed their stand-in captain while defending 162 runs. Later, his teammate Prasidh Krishna confirmed that he had experienced back spasms and thus decided to go for scans as a precautionary measure.
The Indian team management is now sweating over Jasprit Bumrah's fitness ahead of next month's ICC Champions Trophy. The marquee event is scheduled to begin on February 19 and the pacer is in a race against time to be fully fit.
"It does depend on the final diagnosis of the injury. Back spasm is normally an orange light, it tells you that something worse could be in store and you need to stop at that point… Having suffered a lower back stress fracture earlier, Bumrah must have read the signs at the right time and decided to stop in Sydney," a former India Test bowler who had to deal with a similar injury, told Times Of India.
A series to remember for Jasprit Bumrah:
While Team India ended up losing the five-match Test series 1-3, Jasprit Bumrah had a series to remember with the ball. Even though Australia bagged the series, Jasprit Bumrah was adjudged the Player of the Series for his stunning display.
He also made a big impact as a captain. In the first Test when Rohit Sharma was not available, Bumrah led Team India to a famous 295-run victory in Perth.
Meanwhile, Team India will be starting their campaign in the Champions Trophy on February 20. They are in Group A alongside Pakistan, Bangladesh, and New Zealand. Australia, England, South Africa and Afghanistan are in Group B.
