Reflexes
- Jasprit Bumrah hit 29 runs in one over of Stuart Broad with the bat
- Broad held the record for the most expensive bowls in Test by giving 35 runs.
- Jasprit Bumrah breaks Brian Lara’s record at 19
Jasprit Bumrah was given the responsibility of captaining the Indian team for the Birmingham Test in the absence of Rohit Sharma. Everyone knows him for his sharp bowling pitch, but the whole world was shocked to see what he did with his batting at Edgbaston. He broke Caribbean legend Brian Lara’s world record of 19 years. The Indian captain did just that when he batted 29 runs in one over against Stuart Broad and scored a total of 35 runs in that over.
Bumrah brought India’s score to 416, thanks to his undefeated 31 runs on 16 balls hit. During this, the world record for most runs scored by a batsman in a test match was also recorded in his name. Bumrah left veteran cricketer Brian Lara behind on this list. After this, Lara himself went to Twitter to congratulate Jasprit Bumrah with a photo of the figures of that record and praised his game. Let us tell you that Brian Lara had scored 28 runs with spinner Robin Peterson against South Africa in 2003.
Bumrah created a story like this
Stuart Broad celebrated his 550th wicket with Mohammed Shami being sacked a little earlier. But he probably had no idea that in the next over he would make an unwanted bowling record, the most expensive over in Test history. Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah was in front of him in this over. On the first ball, Bumrah hit a four, then a stunned Broad gave up five runs on the next ball in a rebounding effort. On the next ball, he tried to throw a gorilla again, but it wasn’t a ball and he went over the line for 6 runs. In this way he gave 16 runs on one ball.
Stuart Broad bowled 8 balls in this over. After giving up 16 runs on one ball, Bumrah hit a four again on the second legal ball of the over. On the third, fourth ball, Bumrah also hit a four and on the fifth ball he hit a six again. At one point it looked like more than 36 runs would be scored in this over. But on the last ball, Bumrah took a run and a total of 35 runs were scored in this over, of which 29 came off his bat.
Bumrah shines with ball after bat
The Indian team had lost five wickets for 98 runs at one point in the first inning. After that, Rishabh Pant (146) shared 222 runs for sixth wicket with Ravindra Jadeja (104). Following this, Mohammed Shami made 16, captain Jasprit Bumrah scored 31 runs from 16 balls to take the Indian team’s score to 416. In response, England innings began and captain Bumrah shattered England’s top order and took three grounds. At the end of the second day, the hosts’ score was 84 for 5 wickets.
