Joe Root was trying to defend the ball but the ball hit his bat and went to Shubman Gill standing at first slip where he took a very good catch. Former England captain Alastair Cook has given his side regarding Jasprit Bumrah’s spell against Joe Root. Speaking on TNT Sports, Alastair Cook said, ‘Some of the balls that Jasprit Bumrah bowled against Joe Root were very high quality reverse swing bowling. There was a very good partnership between Mukesh and Bumrah. Bumrah cleverly did not bowl reverse swing in the first over but Mukesh was doing it in his place. However, after this Rohit Sharma again bowled to Jasprit Bumrah and he performed amazingly. Former English captain became a fan of Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling Cook further said, ‘Joe Root was LBW in Hyderabad. The English batsman batted very well with a straight bat but all the time he was looking to play the same shot. Jasprit Bumrah did this well and bowled a little more outside. The Indian bowler dodged Joe Root very well and took his wicket. I have been very impressed with the bowling of Jasprit Bumrah and hope that the English batsman will have to be careful with him in the coming matches also.
