India's captain, Jasprit Bumrah, left the field during the second day of the Sydney Test against Australia due to back spasms and was taken for medical scans. The medical team is monitoring his condition, and his availability for the remainder of the match is uncertain.
Bumrah's absence could significantly impact India's bowling attack, as he has been a key performer throughout the series, leading the wicket-taking charts with 32 wickets at an average of 13.06.

In his absence, Virat Kohli assumed the captaincy duties, and bowlers like Prasidh Krishna stepped up, taking three wickets for 42 runs to help dismiss Australia for 181. Despite these efforts, India's lead remains narrow, and Bumrah's fitness will be crucial as the match progresses.
Bumrah has a history of back issues, having missed a year of cricket in 2022 due to a stress fracture. His current condition is being closely monitored, and further updates are awaited.
