Jasprit Bumrah’s yorker sparks panic in the India camp
Meanwhile, the Indian cricket team had a worrying moment during practice ahead of their second Group A match of the T20 World Cup 2026 against Namibia. Indian wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan was hit on the toe while batting in the nets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
The 27-year-old was facing Jasprit Bumrah when a sharp yorker crashed into his toe. Ishan immediately looked in pain and went down on the ground. Team physios quickly came to check on him as other players watched. Photos of the incident went viral online, leaving fans concerned.
There is no official update yet from the BCCI, but journalists present at the ground have said that the injury does not appear serious. It seems to be more of a painful blow than a major problem. It is also being said that Sanju Samson and Bumrah could return to the playing XI against Namibia.
