After a lengthy delay on Day 1 in Kanpur, the second Test between India and Bangladesh has finally resumed. While Bangladesh began solidly, India’s bowlers soon took control, with Jasprit Bumrah leading the charge. Bumrah’s brilliance was on full display as he claimed the crucial wickets of Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taijul Islam in consecutive overs. His precision and skill turned the momentum in India’s favor, making his back-to-back breakthroughs a thrilling spectacle for cricket fans.
Bumrah’s Brilliant Outswinger Removes Mehidy Miraz:
In the 69.4 overs, Bumrah delivers a stunning blow to Mehidy Hasan Miraz with a brilliant back-of-a-length ball that straightens off the pitch. The delivery, bowled in the ideal channel, forces Mehidy to defend from his crease, but the ball rises unexpectedly and catches the edge. It flies to Shubman Gill at first slip, who fumbles slightly but manages to secure the catch.
As Mehidy walks off, Bumrah seems to give a subtle send-off by clapping in front of him before joining his teammates to celebrate. On a pitch offering little, Bumrah’s ability to extract bounce and movement he has made this dismissal stand out, showcasing his skill and precision in difficult conditions.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz departs for 20 from 42 deliveries, caught by Shubman Gill off Jasprit Bumrah. His gritty innings, featuring four boundaries, ended when he nicked a sharp, rising ball. Despite a brief fumble, Gill held onto the catch, and Bumrah’s accuracy on a challenging surface proved decisive. Mehidy’s wicket added to the pressure, further highlighting Bumrah’s outstanding performance in a key moment of the match.
Bumrah Dismissed Taijul on the Very Next Over:
Onto his very next over, Bumrah continues his dominant spell, removing Taijul Islam with a superb delivery. Bowling from around the wicket, Bumrah angles in a back-of-a-length ball that skids through unexpectedly. Taijul, rooted to the crease, attempts to guide the ball to the off-side but is caught off guard by the pace and movement.
The ball crashes into the top of the off stump, leaving Taijul beaten and bowled. Bumrah’s ability to extract life from the surface, even from a tricky angle, showcases his class. This dismissal adds to Bumrah’s momentum, as he piles on the pressure with yet another well-executed delivery. Taijul’s late response seals his fate in this impressive spell.
Taijul Islam bowled by Bumrah for 5 off 8 balls, including a boundary. His brief stay at the crease came to an end when Bumrah delivered a skidding ball that went through his defense. Taijul, attempting to play it to the off-side, was late on the shot, and the ball crashed into the off stump, marking another successful moment in Bumrah’s impressive bowling display.
