Fast pitcher Jasprit Bumrah sprained his right ankle in the first test game between India and South Africa at Centurion. For this reason he was removed from the field. He is currently being monitored by the medical team and Shreyas Iyer has been sent to the field as an alternative. If Bumrah’s injury does not heal quickly, problems may arise for the Indian team. Jasprit Bumrah first hit South Africa on his first over. Apart from them, Mohammed Shami and Mohammad Siraj are also playing well. India has scored 327 runs in the first innings, while South Africa has come under pressure from Indian bowlers by hitting them early.
Today is the third day of the first test between India and South Africa. On the first day, India scored 272 runs for the loss of 3 wickets with a good performance. The game could not be played on the second day due to rain. On the third day, the African bowlers made a good comeback and in just 55 runs, the Indian team was out of the game. However, Indian bowling has also put the South African team under pressure by giving them several setbacks at first. Bumrah took the first wicket in India. After that, Shami and Siraj took some windows. For now, it will be a question of how long Bumrah will be in shape.
Bumrah threw 5.5 overs until his injury in the first innings, taking crucial terrain for 12 runs. Bumrah is Team India’s top bowler in all three cricket formats. If he doesn’t recover soon, the team could be in trouble. Currently, senior bowler Ishant Sharma is out of the game XI. If Bumrah is out of shape until the next match, then Ishant can be fed in the next match.
