India are sweating hard in nets in Adelaide ahead of the Brisbane Test

India are sweating hard in nets in Adelaide as they went through the intense training session. However, Bumrah wasn't part of the session and it was cited that the fast bowler didn't take part in the practice session due to the workload management.

Bumrah came under scanner after he was down during the first innings of the Adelaide Test. The fast bowler looked in discomfort as he was attended by physios as well and it was suspected that the pacer had a slight niggle as he continued bowling after that.

In the second innings, Bumrah bowled one over but didn't look comfortable as he was down with the speed. He was taken off the attack immediately after that as Nitish Kumar Reddy replaced him, with the team defending just 19 runs in the second Test.

Damien Fleming also added that it wasn't the cramp that Jasprit Bumrah had in Adelaide. He also lashed out at Rohit Sharma for giving the fast bowler that one over in the second innings. He elaborated:
