When Jasprit Bumrah is on top of his mark, he looks up and runs his eyes along the direction of the wind. Last week, he was running with the wind blowing across the ground which assisted his out-swingers and hence, this became his weapon. In Jamaica, there was strong wind which assisted his inswing and this became his aide as he battered the West Indies batting line up. A hat-trick and when the day ended, six wickets - Jasprit Bumrah, the maverick continues to grow. When he got rid of John Campbell as his first scalp, Virat Kohli, the captain ran up to him and remarked, ‘what a bowler, man’! (Full scorecard of India vs West Indies 2nd Test)

Bumrah ended the second day with outstanding figures of 6/16 to break the backbone of the Windies batting line-up as they were left tottering at 87/7 at close of day’s play. Courtesy of Bumrah’s show, the hosts trail by 329 runs in first innings with three days of cricket left to be played in the final match of the series.

Look at the figures!



4 overs, 1 maiden, 4 runs & 4 wickets...
