Jasprit Bumrah, the current vice captain of the India in Test format. A right-arm fast bowler, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest bowlers in the history of the sport and the greatest fast bowler India has ever produced. He had a back injury in the recent concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy final Test at Australia. The 31-year-old failed to bowl for a long while during the first Test at Sydney due to it and had scans in Australia and on his return home.
