Team India’s star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah started the tour of England in a tremendous manner but his performance did not show continuity in this series. Bumrah’s bowling did not see the edge that was seen on a tour of Australia. In particular, Bumrah was not fully seen in the fourth match of the series. In the first innings of the Manchester Test, Bumrah scored more than 100 runs, which was the first time in his 7 -year long career.
Team India bowlers had to struggle hard in the fourth match of the series at Old Trafford Stadium. England took the news of Indian bowlers fiercely in their first innings and scored an open of more than 200 runs. During this time, every bowler of Team India rained the run. Even a star bowler like Jasprit Bumrah had to struggle and he could not have much impact.
Bumrah first saw this day
Bumrah started this series in a strong manner and took 5 wickets in the first match played in Leeds. Then in Lord’s Test too, Bumrah also hunted 5 in an innings. But in the Manchester Test, he was seen breathless and its effect was seen as a stain on his brilliant record. On the fourth day of the match, when Bumrah came for his 32nd over, Ben Stokes took a run on the first ball.
Along with this, the Indian pacer scored this unwanted century for the first time in his Test career. After making his debut against South Africa in 2018, Bumrah had not spent 100 runs in an innings. Earlier in December 2024, he gave 99 runs in the Melbourne Test, which was his worst performance. But in his 48th Test and 91st innings, Bumrah also scored 100 runs.
Siraj-Jadeja also beat
However, before reaching this situation, Bumrah started the fourth day with a wicket. He achieved his second success in this innings by cleaning Liam Dawson. By the way, not only Bumrah, but his fellow veteran fast bowler Mohammad Siraj also took over 100 runs in this innings. Apart from him, left -arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja also spent more than 100 runs in this innings.
