Jasprit Bumrah's injury during the Sydney Test has increased the tension of BCCI and Team India. Now only 4 weeks are left for the Champions Trophy to start. But there is still suspense over his playing in this tournament. However, in the meantime a big update has come out regarding him. According to the report, the BCCI medical team has now turned to a doctor who has already saved Bumrah's career. Bumrah and the entire medical team are in constant touch with him. Let us know who is that doctor?
According to the report of Hindustan Times, Jasprit Bumrah has expressed confidence in his old doctor to get relief from injury. He is continuously discussing his problem with New Zealand orthopedic surgeon Rowan Schouten. BCCI doctors are also in touch with him. Detailed information about Bumrah's injury will be revealed in a few days. Only after that his rehabilitation process will start.
Jasprit Bumrah faced a similar problem in 2023 also. Then it seemed difficult for him to play again. He was also out of the team for about a year. Even at that time, it was Doctor Rowan who successfully operated on Bumrah and helped him make a comeback and saved his career. Therefore, this time also BCCI has expressed confidence in him.
Jasprit Bumrah had got the scan done during the Sydney Test itself. But its report has not come out yet. Now, former strength and conditioning coach of the Indian team, Ramji Srinivasan has said that if Bumrah has a Grade 1 to Grade 3 injury, it may take up to 6 months for him to recover. However, correct estimates can be made only after the report comes.
Media reports have claimed that despite reports of injury, Jasprit Bumrah will be kept in the Champions Trophy squad. After the report comes, the final decision on whether to play him in the tournament will be taken with the advice of the medical team. At present, he has been rested in the ODI and T20 series against England.
