India’s premier fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, once again showcased his incredible talent in the ongoing first Test against Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. After successfully returning to the field following the T20 World Cup 2024, Bumrah immediately hit his stride, dominating the opposition with his impeccable bowling. His fiery spell left Bangladesh in disarray, as he claimed four wickets quickly, putting India in firm control of the match.
Among the wickets Bumrah picked up, his dismissal of Bangladesh’s pacer Taskin Ahmed stood out for its intensity and precision. The drama unfolded when Taskin attempted an aggressive slog, sending a boundary past Bumrah. The bold stroke seemed to irritate the Indian pacer, who responded by turning up the heat with a barrage of short-pitched deliveries aimed at Taskin’s body and head.
