Why Jasprit Bumrah Not Playing: The second match of the T20 series between India and New Zealand is being played at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur. Jasprit Bumrah has been kept out of India’s playing 11 in this match. Harshit Rana has been given a chance in place of Bumrah. As soon as Bumrah was out, the question started arising in the minds of the fans whether India’s legendary fast bowler got injured before the 2026 T20 World Cup?
Let us tell you that Bumrah was a part of India’s playing 11 in the first T20 of the series played in Nagpur last Wednesday. However, he could not get any wicket in the match.

So let us know why Bumrah did not get a chance in the second T20.
Captain told the truth about Bumrah
After the toss in Raipur, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav told that Bumrah has been rested, due to which he is not a part of the playing 11.
