Bumrah benched by fever before India vs USA T20 World Cup match

All eyes were on Jasprit Bumrah as he was set to play in the T20 World Cup 2026 opener against the USA on February 7 in Mumbai. But alas! A viral fever benched him, confirmed by captain Suryakumar Yadav at the toss. With Bumrah out, along with Washington Sundar and Sanju Samson, Team India faces a tough start. Bumrah is a key player, being the second-highest wicket-taker in T20Is.
