Team India’s star pacer Jasprit Bumrah produced a stunning spell to single handedly put the hosts in a commanding position on Day 2 of the IND vs ENG 2nd Test in Vizag on Saturday.
Bumrah was the star of the show as he picked up his 10th 5-wicket haul to rip through England’s ‘bazball’ batting line-up. Bumrah ended with the figures of 6/45 in in 15.5 overs as the visitors get bowled out for 253 in reply to India’s 396.
However, after picking up 6 wickets in the opening Test in Hyderabad, the speedster backed it up with five wickets in Vizag as India eye big lead.
With his fifth wicket, Bumrah also completed 150 Test wickets, becoming the fastest Indian pacer to reach the milestone.
Fastest to reach 150 Test wickets for India (matches played):
29 – Ravichandran Ashwin
32 – Ravindra Jadeja
34 – Erapalli Prasanna
34 – Anil Kumble
34 – Jasprit Bumrah
35 – Harbhajan Singh
36 – Bhagwat Chandrasekhar
The highlight of Bumrah’s spell on Day 2 was his raging yorker to last match centurion Ollie Pope. The pacer bowled a pacy yorker right on target to rattle Pope’s stumps.
