Jasprit Bumrah has once again proved why he is India's most secured asset as the fast bowler provided the visitors with two crucial breakthroughs on Day 2 of the first Test against England at Headingley, Leeds. After India had gained momentum on Day 1, the following day saw them slip from 430/3 to 471 all out.
However, Bumrah set the pace going as he sent Zak Crawley packing in the first over. The 31-year-old could have dismissed Ben Duckett as well but Ravindra Jadeja dropped him in gully.
However, post-Tea, the pacer finally got the wicket of Duckett for 62 as India managed to get some grip in the game.

Manjrekar Praises Bumrah
Speaking on 바카라Match Centre Live바카라, JioHotstar expert Sanjay Manjrekar was full of praise for Bumrah. He said, "We바카라ve seen four hundreds in the match so far 바카라 three from India and one from England 바카라 but which bowler has been truly special? For me, it바카라s just Bumrah. Yet, just the ability to manufacture a wicket every time he came into the attack is what stands out.
"The one bowler that comes to mind, someone with that kind of impact single-handedly, is Sir Richard Hadlee. He played for a New Zealand team with a relatively weaker attack, but every time he came on, you felt a wicket was around the corner. The common thread between the two is mastery 바카라 when I watched Hadlee from close quarters, he felt like a true master of his trade. I get that same impression with Bumrah.바카라
