IND vs BAN: Jasprit Bumrah is back in cricket action for the first time since the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. Despite a bit of a break, the Player of the Tournament from India's victorious campaign in the USA and West Indies has not missed his line and length. Bumrah was spot on in the first over he was given by captain Rohit Sharma. While India had been bowled out for 376, Bumrah cleaned up the visiting opener Shadman Islam with a peach of a delivery in the last ball of the first over.
There was an error in judgement on part of the Bangladesh opener as well who shouldered his arms but the ball clipped the top of off, forcing Shadman to take the walk back to the pavilion. The video of Bumrah's delivery was shared by BCCI on their social media handle and it quickly went viral.

Bumrah, Akash Deep's New Ball Spells Put Bangladesh On Backfoot
After Bumrah produced the early breakthrough, Akash Deep also scalped two wickets in two balls to put India on top. Deep removed Zakir Hasan and Mominul Haque off successive deliveries as Bangladesh went to lunch at 26/3 after 9 overs, still trailing India by 350 runs. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto (15*) and Mushfiqur Rahim will have a big task ahead of them in order to reduce the defecit which currently seems to be a difficult challenge (4*). Bangladesh have never beaten India in a Test match before but are fresh off a historic Test series win over Pakistan.
