Bumrah's a threat at all times, feels Australia head coach McDonald

Australia would be hoping for Jasprit Bumrah to remain in the sidelines for the rest of the fifth and final Test after India's pace spearhead and stand-in skipper was forced out of the ground with back spasms on day two of the Sydney Test.

Bumrah, who has been Australia's chief tormentor in the ongoing series with 32 wickets across the five Tests, costing 13 runs apiece. Another big bag in the final innings of their tour could see him go past Maurice Tate's century-old record for the most wickets in a Test series in Australia by a visiting bowler (38).

With the star pacer's workload often finding mentions during the team's interactions with the media, especially he sent down 53.2 overs in India's defeat in Melbourne. Only once, against England in 2021, has he bowled more overs in a series, with his tally currently standing at 157.1.
