    T20 World Cup: Bumrah Out With Illness As USA Elect To Field First In Opener

    By IANS News February 07, 2026 • 19:02 PM View: 224
    T20 World Cup: The United States captain Monank Patel won the toss and elected to field first against India in Match 3 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday.

    India suffered a setback before the toss, as pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah had to sit out because he was unwell. The defending champions also decided not to include wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson and spin bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar. Tilak Varma and Ishan Kishan come in their place.

    Mohammed Siraj was added to the playing XI, who was recently drafted into the 15-player squad after Harshit Rana was ruled out due to a knee injury during the warm-up match against South Africa in Navi Mumbai on February 4. Mohammed Siraj last played a T20I for India in July 2024 against Sri Lanka in Pallekele.
