Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is now out of the last Test vs Australia due to an abdominal strain, PTI has reported. This is a major blow for the side who has already lost the services of 2 pacers in the series due to injury.
Bumrah suffered an abdominal strain in the 3rd Test while bowling and looked ginger in the 2nd innings. Earlier Mohd Shami and Umesh Yadav too were ruled out due to injuries.
Team India has had major injuries in this tour so far with as many as half a dozen stars getting injured including KL Rahul, Umesh Yadav, Mohd Shami, Ravindra Jadeja and also Ravichandran Ashwin who is reported to be struggling with a lower back injury.
With the 4th Test starting in less than 3 days time, the team management is struggling to find the right combination as the quarantine rules don't permit replacements to be flown to Australia.
