Jasprit Bumrah Dedicates Sensational Six-Wicket Haul to Son Angad
NEW DELHI – Jasprit Bumrah, India’s pace spearhead, dedicated his remarkable spell of 6/45 in the ongoing second Test against England to his son Angad. Bumrah’s lethal yorkers and impeccable line and length played a pivotal role in England’s downfall during their first innings.
Expressing his joy at reaching the milestone of 150 Test wickets, Bumrah said, “I will dedicate this to my son. This is his first tour, and he is traveling with me. I am excited to see him.” Bumrah became the fastest Indian fast bowler to achieve this feat, delivering 6781 balls in Test cricket.
Reflecting on the significance of team success over personal achievements, Bumrah added, “It felt great at that moment, but I do not want to look at numbers. If the team wins, then the performance matters. At the end of the day, if you contribute to the team’s success, there is no better feeling.”
Bumrah’s devastating deliveries left Ollie Pope’s stumps cart-wheeling and England skipper Ben Stokes bewildered. On Pope’s dismissal, Bumrah recalled a similar wicket during his 2021 tour to England and highlighted the execution of a swinging yorker.
Expressing his love for Test cricket, Bumrah emphasized his desire to play the longest format for an extended period. India, led by Bumrah’s exceptional bowling, gained a significant lead by bundling out England for 253. The hosts ended day two at 28/0 in their second innings, with a commanding lead of 171 runs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s maiden double century and contributions from other batters propelled India to a respectable total of 396 runs in their first innings.
