Ravindra Jadeja has provided an update on Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness ahead of the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025, expressing concerns about his availability. Jadeja’s comments come after India registered a four-wicket victory against England in the second ODI, sealing the three-match series with one game remaining.
Jasprit Bumrah’s availability for Champions Trophy 2025?
When questioned about Bumrah in the post-match interview, Jadeja said: “It’s not my department. It’s the job of medical department, they’re following up.”
Bumrah, a key bowler for India, suffered back spasms during the fifth Test in Sydney during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.
“Hopefully, he gets fit. It will be huge boost for us. It is good for the whole country as well not only for our team,” added Jadeja.

Ravindra Jadeja opens up about Rohit Sharma’s form
The 36-year-old also downplayed concerns about Rohit Sharma’s form, emphasizing the team’s support for their captain.
“In the dressing room, we’re not worried at all,” said Jadeja.
Rohit responded to critics by scoring a 76-ball century against England in the Cuttack ODI. Jadeja noted that Rohit’s innings was a significant boost ahead of the Champions Trophy, boosting both his and the team’s confidence.
“It didn’t feel like he has not scored runs in the last few innings. It was a smooth knock and played some confident shots. Sometimes it’s just about one or two innings.”
“If one or two innings go well, it’s a good thing. Him getting back in the form before the Champions Trophy is important for us. I think it’s excellent for the team,” the left-handed allrounder added.
“Obviously, he knows what his game is. There’s nothing to think about or discuss.”
