First, he made a shocking start by ducking out both Roy and Roode. The ball moved outside off stump on a full length, and the extra bounce on the pitch helped Bumrah to root for Root’s wicket to get Edgaki Roy out on the inside. Bumrah, the batsman and Bunt were the only ones on the field and the entire attention of the audience had to be on them. Pant kept making sure that Bumrah sketched, the batsman would not fall into it and miss the catches. Just like his one-hunted sixes, his one-hunted catches were just as impressive in the match. As a wicket keeper, this Spiderman has progressed many steps!
In the same vein, it was the duo’s partnership that made Bairstow Bumrah’s next victim. If he and Buttler, who are in mortal form, continue, India will be doomed. But Bumrah’s delivery, which came at short off length and edged the bat, spelled the end of it. Next, Livingstone kept moving to confuse Bumrah’s line and length, giving him no time to react before an inswinging yorker smashed the stumps.
England scored just 26 runs in eight overs and lost 5 wickets, including four batsmen who were ducked out. As the last T20 match dragged on beyond 20 overs, Rohit called on ‘Tail Enders Specialist’ Bumrah, Bumrah’s yorker took Cares for his fifth wicket and Willey’s ramp shot for his sixth, turning it into his best bowling spell in ODIs. This is the best ODI bowling spell (6/19) by an Indian bowler after Stuart Binny, Kumble.
