Jasprit Bumrah took four wickets in the second BGT 2024-25 test in Adelaide.

Jasprit Bumrah gave the Indian fans a huge scare when he went down during his spell late on the second day of the Adelaide test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25. Initially, there were speculations of a serious hamstring injury, but it was later confirmed to be a case of cramps.

Adding to concerns, the star Indian speedster did not bowl a single over during India’s practice session on December 11. However, the Indian vice-captain has now put those worries to rest. Bumrah returned to the nets on Thursday, 12 December and looked at his usual best.

Jasprit even troubled star Indian batters Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul during his speedy burst in the nets. According to Australian journalist Bharat Sundaresan, Bumrah even began his session with some leg-break deliveries alongside R Ashwin before shifting back to his fast bowling.

In the video, Bumrah is seen starting with a few warm-up spin deliveries before switching back to pace. He even managed to beat KL Rahul’s defense on the second delivery in the video.

Bumrah holds the key for India. He is currently leading the highest wicket-takers chart in the ongoing BGT 2024-25. The Indian pacer has picked up 12 wickets in two matches at an average of 11.25.

Bumrah is already the leading wicket-taker in 2024 in tests with 53 scalps to his name. India would hope that the speedster can replicate his Perth magic in Brisbane.
