Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah was at his absolute best in the second session of the final day of the ongoing fourth Test against England at 🌠Kenn🌸ington Oval in London. Bumrah bowled a game-changing spell of six overs and picked up two crucial wickets to bring back India into the match.
The Ahmedabad-lad showed his class with the old ball by getting it reverse and shattering the defences of two top-class English batters. First, Bumrah bowled a brilliant inswinging delivery to get rid of Ollie Pope, who was the highest run-scorer for the hosts during their firs😼t innings.
The right-armer didn’t just stop there as he sent shockwaves to English camp by delivering a toe-crushing yorker that got rid of Jonny Bairstow. It all happened during the 67th over when Bumrah bowled a full delivery that nipped back in sharply and shattered Bairtsow’s stumps.
