Match contribution
Bumrah's performance post-injury scare
Bumrah's determination was on full display as he returned to the field and picked two wickets after his fall.
He started the day by sending Nathan McSweeney back for 39 runs and later sent Steve Smith back to the pavilion with just two runs to his name.
Bumrah also rattled Pat Cummins's stumps late in the second session, ending with brilliant figures of 4/61 in 23 overs.
Bowling strategy
Bumrah's limited bowling on Day 2
On the second day of the Test, Bumrah bowled just seven overs across two spells before his fall.
Despite the limited bowling, he took the wickets of McSweeney and Smith in the overs.
His performance was key for India, who are already missing their lead fast bowler Mohammed Shami, who is undergoing a knee surgery recovery process.
