India National Cricket Team pacer Jasprit Bumrah has come into the headlines ahead of the third Test against the Australia National Cricket Team. The third game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 will be taking place at the Gabba in Brisbane from Saturday (14th December).
India National Cricket Team have started their preparations for the next game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The team will be travelling to Brisbane soon, but they are making sure that they make the most of their time in Adelaide as they have been sweating hard in the net sessions.
Jasprit Bumrah not to take part in the session because of his workload
One of the notable absentees from India’s practice session was Jasprit Bumrah. As per the reports in the Times of India, it is learned that the fast bowler has been asked not to take part in the session because of his workload, especially with three more games to be played in the series.
Jasprit Bumrah not taking part in the practice session fuels rumors about his injury ahead of the third Test. The premier pacer looked in some discomfort during the first innings of the last game in Adelaide. He also wasn’t at his best in the second innings.

Bumrah was made to bowl just one over, and in that too, he didn’t look comfortable. The fast bowler bowled in the mid-120s and had speeds of 121.2kph, 125.2, 126.6, 125.4, 126.7, and 131.3 before he was replaced by all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy.
Bumrah has been made to work hard in the first two games. He hasn’t received great support from the other end, and hence, it has all been up to him. With the third match still a few days away, it is expected that he might regain his fitness and be available for the next game.

It was under his leadership that India National Cricket Team won the first Test in Perth. The premier pacer was right on the money in the second game as well. He bagged four wickets in the first innings and troubled the Australia National Cricket Team batters with his impeccable lines and lengths.
In the two games, Bumrah has picked 12 wickets and has been the backbone of the India National Cricket Team in the series. He would be hoping to double up his tally and help his team stage the comeback in the next game. The series between the two teams stays levelled at 1-1.
