Sun Jan 05 00:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Bumrah Leaves Field with Back Pain, Undergoes Scans
**[City, Country] – January 5, 2025** – Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah left the field during a match today due to back pain, prompting immediate medical attention. After bowling only one over following lunch, Bumrah was forced to withdraw and underwent scans at a local hospital. He later returned to the field at the end of the third session.
While the severity of his injury remains unclear, team officials confirmed Bumrah’s back pain at a post-match press conference. Doctors are expected to provide a definitive update on his bowling availability on Sunday. It is understood that his batting was not affected.
This latest setback comes after Bumrah underwent previous back surgery. Despite the pain, Bumrah achieved a significant milestone earlier in the match, taking his 32nd wicket in the current overseas series. This surpasses the previous record held by Indian bowlers Bishan Singh Bedi (31 wickets) and Bhagwat Chandrasekhar (28 wickets) in a single overseas tour. He also equalled Harbhajan Singh’s record of 32 wickets in a series against Australia, achieved in 2001.
