In what could be a major injury scare to team India ahead of the world cup, pacer Jasprit Bumrah clutched his shoulder and laid on the ground in agony after the final delivery of Delhi Capitals’ innings against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. Injury was just the fear that Indian cricket team management had expressed before the players had dispersed for the IPL 2019. And here it happened in the very first week of the league. Although, the franchise has clarified that Bumrah has recovered well for the injury.
Ahead of the post-match presser, the word from the Mumbai Indians camp was: “As you see he had a slight jerk on his right shoulder while fielding. He has recovered well. And we will be assessing the situation tomorrow as well. will give you the update once we get information regarding it.”
The injury took place on the final delivery of Delhi’s innings when Bumrah looked to stop the ball as he dived to intervene. It is then that he incurred a jerk on his left shoulder before lying down on the ground in pain. Team physio Nitin Patel sprinted in straightaway before carrying him back to the dugout as Bumrah still clutched his shoulders on his way back.
