Revealed: Who is captaining India in Jasprit Bumrah's absence in Sydney Test?

India National Cricket Team have faced a major injury scare amid the ongoing fifth Test of the series against the Australia National Cricket Team. Captain Jasprit Bumrah has been injured, and there is no clarity over his fitness so far in the game.

Jasprit Bumrah looked in some discomfort after lunch on Day 2 of the ongoing fifth Test, which is taking place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. The fast bowler bowled one over but was down with his speeds and was bowling at around 120s.

However, after that Jasprit Bumrah left the field and was seen nowhere near the scenes. The fast bowler, who went off for 30 minutes before lunch, was leaving the Sydney Cricket Ground for a scan in his training kit with support staff. He was seen going to hospital in a car and it was a worrying sign for many.

Virat Kohli is leading India National Cricket Team in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah

With Bumrah leaving the field, many would be wondering who is leading India National Cricket Team in the absence of the fast bowler. It has been premier batter Virat Kohli Kohli who has taken over the charge of the team and marshalled the troops in the remainder of the innings.

Virat Kohli has been spot-on with his leadership, and the way he managed the bowlers was sensational. The premier batter was extremely aggressive on the field and also instilled confidence in the other players as the bowlers were all over the batters.

All fast bowlers chipped in after injury to Jasprit Bumrah

In the absence of Bumrah, all the other fast bowlers chipped in and made sure that they put the Australia National Cricket Team under massive pressure. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna picked three wickets each while Nitish Kumar Reddy also bagged two.

Based on the magical effort with the ball, the India National Cricket Team bundled out the Australia National Cricket Team for a total of just 181 runs. The Jasprit Bumrah-led side took a slender lead of 4 runs and would want to get big runs and set a massive total for the opposition.

Jasprit Bumrah bowled 10 overs in the first innings of the ongoing match

Bumrah bowled 10 overs in the first innings of the ongoing match. He removed Usman Khawaja overnight and then gave the India National Cricket Team a perfect start by removing Marnus Labuschagne on Day 2. After he went off the field, it was Abhimanyu Easwaran, who came in as a substitute fielder.

Bumrah has been bowling consistently in the ongoing five-match Test series. He has bowled 908 deliveries so far, only Pat Cummins has delivered more (912). The India skipper is single-handedly carrying the bowling lineup and hasn't got much support from others. He has so far taken 32 wickets and the team management would be hoping that he gets fit in time for the second innings.
