At back of everyone's mind

Jasprit Bumrah injury appears to be more serious than just a back spasm

Boom or bust? That is certainly the question crowding the minds of the Indian fans as Jasprit Bumrah sat out of India's final Test loss in Sydney in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

The major question is the extent to which Bumrah's back is injured. A spasm is something very painful. But then, why was not Bumrah the main topic of discussion at the press conference of coach Gautam Gambhir? To some, what he said was waxing eloquently. To the more serious fans, why he chose to speak only on batters and not delve at length on Bumrah is a sign of insensitivity.
