Jasprit Bumrah: The Heat of Chennai
In the scorching Chennai heat, Jasprit Bumrah proved to be even hotter for the Bangladesh batsmen. The Indian pacer’s fiery spell in the first Test of the series dismantled the visitors’ batting lineup, leaving them reeling.
Bumrah, who recently reached the milestone of 400 international wickets, was at his lethal best. His pace, precision, and ability to extract movement off the pitch made him unplayable for Bangladesh.
Clinical Performance
Bumrah’s key moment came when he dismissed Hasan Mahmud just before tea. His delivery, angling away slightly, left Mahmud with no chance as he was squared up and sent back to the pavilion. Bumrah’s control over the old ball was also impressive, as he bowled 11 overs in the match, giving away just 50 runs and taking four wickets.
India Dominates
Bumrah’s performance was a major factor in India’s dominance of the match. Along with Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj, he combined to bowl out Bangladesh for a meager total. Bangladesh’s batting lineup had no answer to the Indian pace attack.
Looking Ahead
Jasprit Bumrah’s fiery spell in Chennai is a reminder of his world-class abilities. As India looks to secure a series victory, his form will be crucial in keeping Bangladesh’s batsmen on the back foot.
