Harsha Bhogle lauds Jasprit Bumrah
Team India is currently hosting England for a 5-match Test series. The visitors won the 1st game and the 2nd game is currently underway in Visakhapatnam. During the 1st innings of the visitors, Jasprit Bumrah led India's attack on Day 2 of the ongoing second Test against England in Visakhapatnam. In England's first inning, the vice-captain bowled a magnificent spell, delivering figures of 6/45 as the visitors were dismissed for 253.
During his stint, Bumrah became the fastest Indian bowler to reach 150 wickets in long-format cricket. The Indian vice-captain accomplished the astounding feat by bowling 6781 balls in Test cricket. Harsha Bhogle, the cricket analyst and broadcaster, praised Bumrah after his performance on Day 2. While commentating, Bhogle praises Bumrah for cleaning out Ollie Pope with a devastating yorker, uprooting his middle and leg stumps in the process.
Bumrah picked 6 wickets in the 1st innings as India bowled out the Three Lions 253 and took a hefty lead of 143 runs they had set a target of 399 runs and the visitors lost 6 wickets for 194 runs and they still needed 205 to win the game. Ravichandran Ashwin is just one wicket away from a 500 Test wicket milestone as well.
Harsha Bhogle 'Voice of Cricket'
"What a bowl, what a bowler," Bhogle, who is regarded as the "Voice of Cricket" by fans, was heard as saying on-air. However, veteran India cricketer Dinesh Karthik poked fun at Bhogle for his "what a bowl, what a bowler" remark on Bumrah.
The hilarious conversation between the two has gone viral on social media. "Everywhere I see, I read 'what a ball, what a bowler," Karthik said on-air on the third day. "I see you're spending too much time on social media," Bhogle replied, drawing laughter from former England captain Eoin Morgan, who was also inside the commentary box.
Bumrah since his Test debut in 2018 against South Africa. Following that he has appeared in 64 Test innings across 34 Tests and scalped 152 wickets.
