A player’s absence, even for only one match, may cause waves of conjecture and talk in the cricket world, where the outcome of a game can change with each delivery and wicket. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced shortly before the toss of the second ODI between India and Australia at Indore’s Holkar Stadium that star bowler Jasprit Bumrah would not be playing. Since Bumrah’s tour to Ireland with the Indian national team, he has been the centre of attention. While the bowler has been effective at various times, the Indian team’s hopes for the ODI World Cup hinge on him finding his groove.
The BCCI revealed that Bumrah was excused from the Indore match because he needed to spend time with his family. The board has also announced that the pacer will play in the third one-day international.
“Mr Jasprit Bumrah did not travel with the team to Indore for the 2nd ODI against Australia. He has gone to visit his family and was given a short break by the team management. Fast bowler Mukesh Kumar has joined the team as Bumrah’s replacement for the 2nd ODI. Bumrah will join the team for the final ODI in Rajkot,” the BCCI tweeted before the toss in the 2nd ODI.
Prasidh Krishna was inserted into the starting lineup in lieu of Bumrah, while Mukesh Kumar was added to the squad. Concerns were voiced regarding India’s ability to perform without their best fast bowler after the unexpected team change. Cricket fans all across the globe took notice of the late-game lineup change.
The Australians elected to bowl first after stand-in captain Steve Smith won the toss. Many were wondering whether this decision, made without Bumrah, would affect the result of the game. Australia was determined to even the series after losing the first ODI, and Smith’s decision to chase seemed to reflect the team’s faith in its batting lineup in order to do so.

Examining Jasprit Bumrah’s incredible rise and his skill as a fast bowler is essential for grasping the impact he has had on the Indian cricket squad. Bumrah’s ability to bowl Yorkers at will, create pace and surprise batsmen with his unorthodox action has made him a game-changer for India in the limited-overs forms. His stellar performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has further solidified his status as a top-tier fast bowler. The Indian squad has to reconsider their bowling approach for the second ODI without Bumrah.
