IND vs AUS 1st Test: Jasprit Bumrah came back undefeated with starter Mayank Agarwal at the end of Day 2
HIGHLIGHT
- Jasprit Bumrah came in to bat after Prithvi Shaw’s wicket crash
- The night watchman faced 11 Cummins deliveries before returning undefeated on Day 2
- Bumrah was applauded by his teammates after his undefeated return to the pavilion on Day 2
‘JBCDE – Jasprit Bumrah can do it all’ – Mumbai Indians tweeted as pacemaker Jasprit Bumrah hit the bat at number three after starter Prithvi Shaw fell. A total of 17 balls remained when Bumrah was sent as a night watchman.
The 27-year-old rider faced 11 deliveries from a very fierce Pat Cummins before returning with a satisfaction on his face, much like when he takes a five for. Welcoming his undefeated soldier, Captain Virat Kohli was all smiles and the pride on his face was also very evident. Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja also lined up to applaud the brave ‘Boom Boom’ Bumrah.
In particular, Jasprit Bumrah had surprised everyone with his first fifty first class in the Pink-ball tour match against Australia A, just before the ongoing day and night event in Adelaide. So he had gotten an honor guard from Kohli and company.

Before impressing with the bat today, Jasprit Bumrah was India’s chief crusader with the new ball. He rocked the Aussie batting lineup by sending starters Matthew Wade and Joe Burns back before the hosts could rack up 30 runs.
Australia was eliminated by 191, conceding a first inning to their opposition for the first time in their 8-match pink ball cricket history. India had a 62-run lead over Australia at the end of Day 2.
