Indian national cricket team fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been the main talking point in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The premier fast bowler was widely praised for his heroics throughout the five-match Test series against the Australian national cricket team.
Jasprit Bumrah, the captain of the Indian national cricket team who is playing the Sydney Test, is in the limelight on the second day of the match. While his injury has been a hot topic, the chief pacer has also been accused of using sandpaper during the game.
In a video that has gone viral on the internet, Bumrah can be seen adjusting his shoes. But what caught the attention of many was the sandpaper-like substance that fell from his shoe. The fast pitcher, however, takes it in his hands and goes back to tying his shoes.

Jasprit Bumrah experienced back spasms, had scans and asked how he was feeling while bowling on Sunday
But there is a cloud hanging over Bumrah's fitness in the ongoing tournament. The fast bowler felt unwell while bowling on the second day of the ongoing Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground. It all started in the first session when the pacer left the field for 30 minutes.
Bumrah, though he returned to bowling in the second innings, bowled just one over. While he was bowling in the mid-120s, his pace dropped off. The fast bowler then left the field and did not return to the ground as he was seen getting scanned in his car.
It was later revealed that Jasprit Bumrah experienced back spasms and underwent a preventive scan. There are reports that he may feature in the batting, while his availability in the bowling match will depend on how he feels tomorrow morning.
