The incident took place in the 46th over of England’s second innings bowled by the premier Indian fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah. The frontline Indian bowler pitched the ball a bit wide of the off-stump, which the English opener could have left alone. But Sibley somehow went for a drive and found the inner edge that flew to the left side of Rishabh Pant.
