Up went Jasprit Bumrah’s arms in the air, his head tilted a little back. Another England wicket had fallen. That shy smile appeared on his bearded face, again.
Bumrah was sensational. His stunning spell of reverse swing swung the balance of the second Test towards India at the Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium on Saturday.
Batting a second time, India finished at 28 for no loss at stumps on the second day – that is a lead of 171. In reply to India’s first innings score of 396, which was basically a solo effort from the double-centurion Yashashvi Jaiswal, England could only make 253.
