Sydney/IBNS: India captain Jasprit Bumrah, who dominated the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 with the ball, left the cricket fans worried as he left the SCG in Sydney amid an injury scare.

Bumrah, who bowled only one over in the second session on Saturday, left the stadium with team doctor and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) integrity manager Anshuman Upadhyay for a scan.

An official confirmation from the Indian cricket board BCCI is awaited.

In absence of Bumrah, who picked 32 wickets in the series so far, former India captain Virat Kohli took charge of the team when Australia were batting in the middle.

Riding on the pace bowling unit, India bowled out Australia for only 181 to secure a thin lead of four runs in the first innings of the fifth and final Test.

After Bumrah left the field, Prasidh Krishna (3/42), Mohammed Siraj (3/51) and Nitish Reddy (2/32) took over the duty to dismiss the hosts within the tourists' score of 185.

Beau Webster scripted his dream debut scoring a hard-earned 57 from 105 balls, recovering Australia from 39-4 in an alliance with veteran Steve Smith, who was dismissed in the slip cordon by Krishna just before lunch for a solid 33.

Bumrah, who picked Usman Khawaja on the last delivery of day one, removed Marnus Labuschagne early on day two.

Young batter Sam Konstas, who resumed his attack after seeing off some balls patiently, was caught in the slip cordon by KL Rahul bowled by Siraj for 23 from 38 balls.

Siraj drew more blood by dismissing in-form Travis Head (four runs) in the same over hurting Australia badly.
