Jasprit Bumrah Viral Video: “Hey, he is not even hitting” – Bumrah sledged the English batsman in the middle of the match.
On Sunday, February 18, on the fourth day of the third Test at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot, Team India’s experienced fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah made fun of the English batsmen. After setting a mammoth target of 557 runs, the Indian bowlers completely dominated England and won the third Test by 434 runs to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. Bumrah took one wicket each in both the innings of the third Test and in the entire match he took two wickets for 72 runs. But the English batsmen were playing cautiously against him. When the England team was struggling while chasing the target in the second innings of the third Test, Bumrah took a jibe after bowling the 11th over. When Jasprit Bumrah made fun of England’s batsmen while bowling Bumrah said laughingly, “Now he is not hitting at all.” Let us tell you that when Bumrah said this, Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow were at the crease and England had lost three wickets at the score of 28.

For India, Ravindra Jadeja took five wickets while Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets. Point to be noted is that, England ‘Baseball’ is being criticized after losing two consecutive tests. Former England captains Nasser Hussain and Michael Vaughan criticized this approach and said that there is a need to play according to the situation rather than always adopting a very aggressive strategy. Let us tell you that the fourth test of the series between the two teams is to be played on Ranchi ground from 23rd February.

He equaled the world record of Wasim Akram. He has just started playing cricket, this was his seventh test match and in this he has scored two double centuries and a score of 171. “It would have reminded you a bit about the beginning of Vinod Kambli’s career.” The former opener further said, “He reminds you a bit of Vinod Kambli at the beginning of his career. He was also a left-handed batsman who played spin very well. Jaiswal also plays spin very well. Of course, due to some off-field issues, Kambli’s career did not progress the way it should have.” However, Chopra expressed confidence that Jaiswal’s career would be quite different from his. He understands the DNA of the game. He hit three sixes in one over off Jimmy Anderson. Once he reached 180, he said he would not rush. He is not satisfied with the century.”
