Team India is trailing 0-2 in the 3-match Test series against New Zealand. The danger of a clean sweep is looming before him for the first time in 24 years. Meanwhile, the third and last test match has started in Mumbai. Before the start of the match, Indian captain Rohit Sharma told a bad news about Jasprit Bumrah, which has increased the tension of Team India. Actually, he has been dropped from the third test. The Indian captain revealed after the toss that Mohammad Siraj is playing in his place in the Mumbai Test.
Rohit Sharma did not give much information about Jasprit Bumrah. He just said that Bumrah is not well. But BCCI has given information about his health on social media. He has told that Bumrah has a viral illness, from which he has not been able to recover completely. According to the report, Bumrah did light training even during the practice session. Now due to the absence of Bumrah, the tension of the Indian team has definitely increased.

The team has already lost two matches in the series and now it has to save its lead in the last match. But Mohammad Siraj, who replaced Bumrah, has not been in form for some time. He has failed to take wickets. If he is unable to take wickets even in Mumbai, then problems may arise for the Indian team. At the same time, if there is defeat in this match, then India may have to suffer huge loss in the World Test Championship also.
According to the report of Indian Express, Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit and Gambhir want to give him complete rest, so that he can remain fresh for the series starting in Perth from 22nd November. It was also claimed in this report that Bumrah had returned to his home on the evening of 30 October. The decision to keep him out of the third Test was that of the entire team management including the captain and coach.
Now Jasprit Bumrah will directly join the Indian team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on 10th November. Let us tell you that the entire team can leave for Australia on this day. Rohit Sharma wanted to rest Bumrah only after the Bengaluru Test, but after losing the first match, he was forced to rest him in the Pune Test.
