Allaying fears about India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah’s shoulder injury, a BCCI official on Monday said there were no major concerns since the scans have come clear. Bumrah landed awkwardly on his left shoulder while fielding during Sunday’s Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 contest against Delhi Capitals, causing concern in the Indian camp.
The national team relies heavily on Bumrah, who has earned the reputation of being the world’s best bowler in death overs. The Gujarat pacer did not come out to bat in Sunday’s match, which added to the concerns about his injury.
“Bumrah had some shoulder scans done in the morning and BCCI was kept in the loop. His scan reports were okay. The tests that were done were all those recommended by the BCCI,” the official said.
Mumbai Indians’ next match is against Royal Challengers Bangalore on March 28.
