News India Live, Digital Desk: On the very first day of the T20 World Cup 2026, which is being hosted by India, starting today (February 7), a disappointing news has come for the Indian fans. Team India’s strike bowler Jasprit Bumrah will not be seen in the opening match to be held at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. According to the report, ‘Jassi’s’ health has suddenly deteriorated. Viral fever has increased the concern. According to the reports of ‘News 18’ and ‘Indian Express’, Jasprit Bumrah has severe viral fever. Bumrah came to the field during the practice session on Friday, but did not bowl. The team management does not want to take any big risk regarding Bumrah’s fitness, because the tournament is very long and after this there will be matches against big teams like Pakistan. Mohammed Siraj will make an entry. In the absence of Bumrah, it is almost certain that experienced fast bowler Mohammed Siraj will play in the playing eleven. It is noteworthy that Siraj was recently included in the squad in place of injured Harshit Rana. Now he will have the big responsibility of commanding the Indian fast bowling attack along with Arshdeep Singh. Only 13 players are fit! Captain Suryakumar Yadav’s problems have increased due to the exclusion of Jasprit Bumrah. The Indian team has only 13 fit players available for this match. Washington Sundar is also not fully fit yet and is waiting for clearance from the National Cricket Academy (NCA), Bengaluru. Will Ishan Kishan open? There is also news that there may be a change in the opening pair as well. Considering Sanju Samson’s poor form, Ishan Kishan may get a chance to open the innings with Abhishek Sharma. Ishaan had performed brilliantly in the recent warm-up match and the last series.
