India prepares for Sri Lanka Tests without Jasprit Bumrah
Summary

India will play the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka without star pacer Jasprit Bumrah due to a knee injury. Bumrah was initially selected for the squad but failed to pass a fitness test prior to the series. His absence comes after ongoing fitness struggles since a back injury during the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Jammu and Kashmir's Auqib Nabi has been called up to replace him. Despite Bumrah's absence, India's statistics suggest a surprisingly high win rate without him in recent Tests.
