New Delhi: Team India's star fast-bowler Jasprit Bumrah on Sunday picked his first-ever five-wicket haul while playing an international Test on Indian soil. The star speedster attained the big feat on Day 2 of ongoing India vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test in Bengaluru. Bumrah returned with remarkable bowling figures of 5/14 that helped his team bundle up Sri Lanka for just 109. He bowled 4 maiden overs during his 10 over spell, conceding just 24 runs.  

Sri Lanka's Kusal Mendis, Lahiru Thirimane, Angelo Mathews, Niroshan Dickwella, and Lasith Embuldeniya were the five batters who were dismissed by Bumrah. India, after restricting the visitors to 109, leads them by 186 runs.

Today is the eighth time he has taken five or more wickets in 29 Test matches. Bumrah's spell in the ongoing Pink Ball Test is by far the best performance by an Indian fast bowler against Sri Lanka. Earlier, Ishant Sharma took five wickets for 54 runs against Sri Lanka in Colombo in 2015.
