Jasprit Bumrah was injured during the fifth and final Test against Australia. According to reports, he suffered from back spasms and has been suggested to take the best rest as a part of the recovery process. He has swelling on his back, and the medical staff of the BCCI wants him to recover from that before taking a call on the next phase of his rehabilitation.

The speedster has broken his silence on the reports of bed rest and mocked an X page for spreading fake news on his injury. The selectors haven’t announced the team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as they are waiting for reports on the fast bowler, who is likely to miss the tournament.

Some of the leading media houses have revealed that Bumrah is not fit, and there is no information available on his return, which could take longer than expected considering the seriousness of his injury. Bumrah decided to clear the air on the reports and accused one of the X users of planting wrong stories on him.

“I know fake news is easy to spread but this made me laugh . Sources unreliable , wrote Bumrah on his X account,’ he wrote,

The user deleted the tweet after being called out by the best bowler.

Bumrah was named the Player of the Series for taking 32 wickets in five Tests against Australia, and the ICC also rewarded him with the Player of the Month for December award.

Meanwhile, Mohammed Shami reacted similarly when the media reported about his swollen knee. He called the stories fake, but it turned out to be true when Rohit Sharma confirmed that the seamer was impacted by a knee injury.

Bumrah could be following his teammate to stop the limelight of his fitness status.
