On Day 2 of the first Test in Chennai, India’s ‘Kohinoor’ Jasprit Bumrah delivered an early breakthrough to the team by sending Shadman Islam packing on just 2 runs. In all formats of the game, Bumrah arguably remains the best fast bowler in the world. However, it was a delivery that made Shadman feel let down and helpless as he expected it to swing away from him. For instance, after facing the final ball of Bumrah’s first over, Shadman thought that possibly leaving this one would help him miss his stumps by a mile. But then what India’s pacer did with that red cherry shocked him completely
The top of Shadman’s off-stump was knocked by one heavily misjudged delivery from Bumra by Shadman as well all know too well; although great evil had been done.
Take a look at the video:
For their last delivery in over bamrah changed his angle where as he had bowled 5 previous deliveries from the opposite end of the stumps. The ball was left by Shadman without knowing its course. What followed next is known to all.
