The biggest hero of this match was Jasprit Bumrah. He made a splash from the very first over and ended his spell on 7.2-3-19-6. Bumrah’s killer bowling can be gauged from the fact that he made Jason Roy and Joe Root walk in their first over. After this, he dismissed Jonny Bairstow in his third over and Liam Livingstone in the fourth over. Due to this, England’s score was reduced to 25 runs for 5 wickets. Bumrah took the remaining two wickets in his second spell.
Mohammed Shami also made a record
If Bumrah was raining fire from one end, then the British had no relief from the other end. From the other end, the swing bowling of Mohammed Shami was blowing the senses of the English players. Shami made Ben Stokes his first victim. He got Stokes caught behind the wicket. After this came the turn of English captain Jos Buttler. Shami got Butler caught by Suryakumar Yadav. The third and last victim of Shami became Craig Overton. Shami also made the Indian record for the fastest 150 wickets.
Rishabh Pant’s long flight
The fiery bowling of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami also benefited from the long flight of Rishabh Pant. Wicketkeeper Pant looked in full swing in this match and took the catch by diving. The ease with which he caught the difficult catches of Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow is rarely seen. Rishabh Pant also caught the catch of Ben Stokes.
Rohit Sharma’s captaincy innings
