India’s star pacer Jasprit Bumrah was sensational today as he wreaked havoc on the England batting lineup to put the Indian cricket team in a great position in the ongoing 1st ODI match against England at The Oval. Jasprit Bumrah produced a devastating spell of fast bowling to register career-best figures. His spell helped India skittle out England for 110 runs in the first ODI match.
Jasprit Bumrah Was On Fire
Jasprit was the destructor-in-chief as he dismissed Jason Roy, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, and Liam Livingstone inside the first 10 overs of the game. He later struck again and dismissed David Willey and Brydon Carse. The other four wickets were picked by Mohammed Shami (3) and Prasidh Krishna (1).
Bumrah exploited the conditions at The Oval perfectly as he ended with dream figures of six for 19 in 7.2 overs and in the process, he became the first Indian pacer to pick five or more wickets in an ODI match in England. This was also England’s lowest total against the Indian cricket team. He returned with the stunning figures of 7.2-3-19-6.
Sachin Hailed Bumrah
Meanwhile, Bumrah is receiving praises from all corners for his sensational bowling performance. From fans to cricketers around the world, everyone is taking to Twitter to hail the performance of Bumrah.
Among many, batting legend Sachin Tendulkar also took to his Twitter and hailed the brilliance of Jasprit Bumrah. In his tweet, he showered praises on the sensational spell of Bumrah and went on to call him the best bowler across formats. He wrote:
“The Oval pitch has great bounce but Indian bowlers bowled the right lengths & that made all the difference. A great bowling performance by India’s pace attack especially Bumrah who was just phenomenal.”
“I’ve been of the opinion for a while now that Bumrah is the best bowler across formats. It was good to hear @nassercricket agree with me on-air. #ENGvIND”
