jasprit bumrah Shadman Islam was left stunned by a delivery that Bangladesh expected to go away from him. With three fielders lurking behind, the Bangladesh batsman must have expected Bumrah to launch the ball away from him.
In fact, all his previous deliveries that had gone over the wicket had been out-swingers. Then, Bumrah bowled a delivery that left it over the wicket. It was Bumrah’s last delivery. Shadman decided to leave it at that.
But, this time, it was an innings swinger. The Bangladesh opener castled as the visitors were 2/1 down at the end of the first over.
On the second day of the first Test, Bumrah put Bangladesh in serious trouble, leaving them at 112-8 at the end of play. BangladeshChasing India’s score of 376, they fell far behind and were eventually bowled out for 149, failing to cross the follow-on wicket. India, however, decided to bat again despite Rohit Sharma having the option to ask Bangladesh to bat.
Indian bowlers got off to a flying start and reduced Bangladesh’s lead to 40-5 at the start of the second session. Akash Deep made a big impact by taking two wickets on consecutive deliveries just before lunch.
After Bumrah dismissed Shadman, Akash Deep dismissed Zakir Hasan for 3 and Mominul Haque for 0 in consecutive balls. Mushfiqur Rahim prevented the hat-trick but was soon dismissed by Bumrah for 8 runs, further strengthening India’s dominance. Bumrah secured his third wicket before the tea break.
Earlier, India had posted a solid total thanks to Ravichandran Ashwin’s 113-run knock and his 199-run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja. Yashasvi Jaiswal chipped in with a half-century, putting together a partnership with Rishabh Pant after the early exits of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli.
Indian cricket Fans reacted to the threatening delivery. One said, “He’s a fire,” while another called him the “GOAT.” “What a delivery,” wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter), while another commented, “It’s never a good idea to leave Bumrah.”
Record of Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Jaiswal created history on the first day of the Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai. As India struggled to lose wickets, Jaiswal stood firm and scored a determined half-century.
With this achievement, Jaiswal became the first cricketer in the 147-year history of Test cricket to score more than 750 runs in his first 10 innings at home. He broke the record set by West Indies’ George Headley, who scored 747 runs in 1935.
