IND vs SL: Jasprit Bumrah Injured in First Over Against Sri Lanka, India’s World Cup Concerns Mount

India and Sri Lanka will face each other today in the match of the Super Four phase of the Asia Cup. Sri Lanka has already defeated Bangladesh. On the other hand, yesterday, India also snatched a huge victory against Pakistan by a margin of 228 runs.

The team that wins today will almost certainly book the ticket to the finals, so the two sides are on the field with extra motivation. India won the toss and batted first. Despite making 356 against Pakistan in the previous match, Team India’s innings did not advance more than 213 runs today. Welalage, Ashalankara, played with the magic of spin.

Sri Lanka is chasing the target of 214 runs thrown by India. As expected, captain Rohit Sharma handed over the new ball to Jasprit Bumrah. Jasprit Bumrah has recently returned to the field after recovering from a stress fracture in his back. He performed very well in the T20 series against Ireland. He also bowled well against Pakistan in the Asia Cup. The Indian team is trying to give Bumrah as much match practice as possible before the World Cup. That is why the skipper has been given the responsibility of bowling on Premadasa’s spin-supporting pitch.

However, Rohit’s decision could have backfired in the first over of the innings. Various parts of the field are very wet due to continuous rain. It was understood that it was very risky for cricket in the first over of the Sri Lankan innings. On the fourth ball, Bumrah almost slipped after making some progress on the follow-through of the delivery. He managed even when he sprained his leg.

He is seen clutching his ankle with his hand. He somehow escaped from serious injury. There are many important matches ahead. Before that, so that the Indian pace weapon does not get injured again, the team India will have to pay special attention to that.
