Indian legendary paceman Jasprit Bumrah took the ball in his new spell after the Tea Break and wound up the Proteas tail just within 2 overs. Bumrah got to his five-wicket haul with the dismissal of Simon Harmer and Keshav Maharaj in the same over.
India are playing against South Africa in the first Test at the iconic venue at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Jasprit Bumrah started delivering as the finest pick among the Indian bowlers, as he was their lead pacer in the side, with four other spinners.
Jasprit Bumrah cleaned up Simon Harmer with a delivery that snuck under his bat
Jasprit Bumrah came in to bowl the second over of his new spell after Tea. He was hit for a boundary off the second ball and then replied accurately by the expert Indian pacer. South Africa was already 8 wickets down at the stroke of Tea on Day 1.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Bumrah steamed in and looked just too good for a number 10 batter as he disturbed the woodwork for the Protea batter. The ball was pitched on a good length around off, and it jagged back into the right-hander’s stumps.

Five Wickets for Bumrah with Keshav Maharaj’s short stay at the Eden Gardens
In the same over, Bumrah finished the South African innings by cleaning up Keshav Maharaj with the final ball of the over. Another in-swinging yorker that landed right on Maharaj’s boots as he tried to get his leg out, but the ball smashed onto his toes.
In front of the middle and leg stump, India appealed louder, and Rod Tucker raised his finger, and the South African batsman had to walk back with no review left to call for a DRS. Jasprit Bumrah finished the innings with figures of 14 overs, 5 maidens, 27 runs, and 5 wickets.
