Team India‘s pace leader, Jasprit Bumrah, captivated fans with his bowling on Day 2 of the Test series opener against Bangladesh in Chennai. He claimed an impressive four-wicket haul, helping the hosts dismiss Bangladesh for just 149 runs.
India put up 376 on the board after they were asked to bat first, thanks to Ravichandran Ashwin’s knock of 113 runs and contributions from Ravindra Jadeja and Yashasvi Jasiwal, who made 86 and 56 respectively. The beginning couldn’t have been better for Men in Blue, as Bumrah struck immediately with the ball in his hand.
Shadman Islam was dismissed by him as an opener of Bangladeshi side in no time. He also took out Mushfiqur Rahim, Hasan Mahmud and Taskin Ahmed, ending his spell with 11-1-50-4.
Subsequent to the innings, numerous fans as well as cricketers commended Bumrah via social media as he delivered an excellent bowling display. A few of these top comments are as follows:
