Captain Rohit Sharma is once again finding that Jasprit Bumrah can fix problems. Zak Crawley was blazing all guns with the bat in the first innings, and England were looking dangerous. But his careless shot against Axar Patel gave the Indian squad the advantage.
At this point, Jasprit Bumrah was reintroduced by Rohit, and he had an immediate effect. Joe Root left first, followed by the mother of all Yorkers, who arrived at Ollie Pope’s stumps.
After only 23 runs, the first Test’s top run scorer was unable to muster much more and returned to the dressing room.
England lost three wickets quickly after reaching 114/1, with Bumrah claiming two in two overs.
In the first game of his career, Kuldeep Yadav removed Ben Duckett from the game. India scored 396 runs earlier in the innings.
The only player to score 209 runs with the bat was Yashasvi Jaiswal. India reached a competitive total during his innings.
