Despite a setback caused by a back spasm, Jasprit Bumrah's outstanding performance as India's pace spearhead effectively defined the series' dynamics. The star Indian pacer had to sit out on a crucial day three, when India needed to defend a slim target of 162 runs against Australia.
Australia capitalized on Bumrah's absence, securing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a decade-long interval. Expressing his frustration at not participating in the series' most challenging wicket, Bumrah emphasized the importance of respecting physical health.
