In a riveting display of skill and determination, Jasprit Bumrah, India’s pace spearhead, showcased his batting prowess with a stunning cover drive during Day 2 of the fifth and final Test against England at the picturesque HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala on Friday, March 8.
Bumrah’s entrance to the crease came at a critical juncture, with India positioned at 428/8. Teaming up with Kuldeep Yadav in the lower order, Bumrah not only fortified India’s innings but also ensured that there were no further setbacks as the day drew to a close.
The standout moment arrived in the 118th over when Mark Wood delivered a full-length ball outside off stump. With impeccable timing and finesse, Bumrah elegantly executed a cover drive that raced towards the boundary line, leaving spectators and Team India staff in awe.
The beauty of Bumrah’s stroke was not lost on the observers, with the Team India dressing room erupting into applause as coaches and staff acknowledged the pacer’s remarkable shot.
Bumrah’s exquisite cover drive not only added flair to India’s batting display but also underscored his versatility and all-around capabilities on the cricket field. As India continues to assert its dominance in the series against England, Bumrah’s memorable shot stands out as a testament to the team’s collective brilliance and individual brilliance.
