IND v NZ 3rd Test: Rohit Sharma gives Alarming update on Jasprit Bumrah’s health as he misses out on Mumbai Test

Indian team is going to play the third and final Test of the series against New Zealand without their star pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Indian team has already lost the series as New Zealand has won 2 match of the series. This has resulted in this final Test to be a must-win situation if India wants to have a better chance in the World Test Championship finals.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma gave an update regarding Jasprit Bumrah and stated that he is not well, adding that Bumrah will be replaced by Mohammed Siraj. Siraj was not able to play in the 2nd Test in Pune, but will be aiming to have a decent outing and help India in their game.

“We’d have batted first too. We accept that we didn’t play well this series. But this is an opportunity to correct that. Hopefully we can restrict them quickly. (WTC final) Right now our focus is on this Test match. On the back of the mind you need to keep in mind about that, but right now we need to play our best cricket which we haven’t this series. Bumrah is not well, so Siraj replaces him,” said Rohit Sharma during toss.

BCCI also gave an update op the health of Bumrah, stating that the pacer has still not recovered from his viral illness and was hence not available for the selection.

“Mr Jasprit Bumrah has not fully recovered from his viral illness. He was unavailable for selection for the third Test in Mumbai,” BCCI wrote in their statement.
