    Sydney Test: 200 May Not Be A Defendable Target Without Bumrah, Says Gavaskar

    Sydney Cricket Ground: With India holding a 145-run lead over Australia at the end of Day 2 of the final Test match, a lot of questions are surrounding whether India's skipper and premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will be able to take part in what is expected to be the final day’s proceedings in the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 at the Sydney Cricket Ground here on Sunday.

    Bumrah left the stadium with the team doctor and a security officer as shown on the live broadcast. The pace spearhead bowled just one over after the lunch break in which his pace was down and left the field after a brief discussion with Virat Kohli during the second session on Day Two. He was later shown returning to the dressing room after scans.

    Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar believes Bumrah’s return is a serious cause for concern for the side, with the team having only four wickets in hand, and even a lead of 200 may not be safe if the 31-year-old does not bowl on day 3. “Look, if India scores 40 more runs or they put 185 on the board then they have a great chance but it all depends on Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness. If Jasprit Bumrah is fit then 145-150 might be enough. But if Bumrah is not fit then a score of around 200 also might not be enough,” said Gavaskar on Star Sports.
