IND vs AUS / Bumrah accused of hiding sandpaper in his shoes, know the truth behind the viral video?

IND vs AUS: The pressure on the Australian team is clearly visible in the Sydney Test, and in such a situation, Australian fans are now trying to target Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Actually, a video is going viral on social media, in which Bumrah is seen opening his shoes and fixing them. During this, an object falls from his shoe, which some fans claimed was sandpaper. However, many types of misunderstandings are being spread on social media regarding this video. Let us know what is the truth of this matter.

What is the truth of the allegations?

The thing that is seen falling from Bumrah's shoe is not sandpaper but a finger cap. Finger caps are usually used by fielders to protect their fingers from injury. Bumrah did the same. When he went from bowling to fielding, he removed the finger cap from his shoe. However, after the video of this incident went viral, Australian fans started taking it in the wrong context.

Australian fans shared the video and raised questions whether sandpaper came out of Bumrah's shoes. This is the same sandpaper controversy that shook Australian cricket in 2018. Then some Australian players had to face a ban on charges of ball tampering.

Australian fans are losing morale

These allegations are being made when the Australian team is struggling with Jasprit Bumrah's deadly bowling. Bumrah has taken 32 wickets so far in this series and remains a big problem for the Australian batsmen. His brilliant bowling has put a lot of pressure on the Australian team.

Concerns over Bumrah's fitness

Questions are also being raised about Jasprit Bumrah's fitness during the Sydney Test. Bumrah felt slight pain in his back while fielding on the second day. After this he was taken to the hospital for a scan.

However, the Indian team hopes that Bumrah will take the field to bat on the third day. But there is still uncertainty about his bowling. It remains to be seen whether he is able to recover from his back pain or not. If Bumrah is not able to bowl, it will be a big setback for the Indian team.

Role of Australian media

Australian media is also giving importance to this matter. Many speculations are being made about Bumrah's video. This is not the first time that the Australian media and fans have targeted the players of the opposition team in this way. But Indian fans and cricket experts have rejected these allegations.

Status of Indian team

The current score of the Sydney Test shows that the match is standing at a very exciting turn. The Indian team has lost 6 wickets for 141 runs in their second innings. In such a situation, the team needs a big target so that pressure can be put on the Australian team.

If Bumrah does not come on the field to bowl, then the difficulties for the Indian team may increase. In his absence, other bowlers will have to shoulder additional responsibility.

Impact on results

It will be interesting to see what effect these allegations against Bumrah have on his performance. At present, his fitness and bowling are most important for the Indian team. The Australian team has used such psychological tactics in the past as well, but the Indian team has given a befitting reply every time.

It will be important to see in the coming days whether Bumrah returns to the field and once again troubles the Australian batsmen with his lethal bowling.
