Jasprit Bumrah pumped up: It has been a while since Virat Kohli has been known to be heated up and give back the bowlers in the same coin rather, a penny more.
Indian batters couldn’t really make merry in the second innings as Rahane and Pujara were the only pillars of resistance while the others ebbed away way too soon.
As the final day’s play began at Lord’s after a crackling showdown from Joe Root and Mark Wood dictated proceedings earlier, India once again found themselves at the receiving end with Pant and Ishant Sharma departing in quick succession.
Bumrah and Shami were two new batters at the crease, and instead of a sloppy retreat resorted to a cautionary defence. Slowly and steadily they got into the groove and England’s calculations were disrupted with the duo posting a phenomenal display.
As the partnership started growing, England seemed more frustrated with it and sparks started flying. Jos Buttler in an attempt to get under the skin of Bumrah subjected him to a volley of verbal abuses, and he simply gave it back.
The following delivery from Mark Wood flew to the ropes, though it wasn’t properly connected by Bumrah. The upshot stoked up Bumrah even further, and Kohli was seen roaring from the stands.
Twitter couldn’t even hold back lauding this remarkable spectacle as they came together to heap praises on Bumrah and Kohli for this rip-roaring spectacle.
At the time of writing, India is stationed at 286 for the loss of 8 with Shami completing his half-century already and India with a lead of 258 runs.
