Bumrah puts price on his wicket: Jadeja

The second day of the ongoing fifth test match between India and England belonged to the skipper Jasprit Bumrah and his all-round performance put India in the driver’s seat here on Saturday.

After helping India to set a formidable first innings total of 416, he wreaked havoc with the red cherry running through the English top-order ending the day with figures of 3-35. However, it was not his bowling but his batting display that drew plaudits and sent the packed stadium into raucous celebration.

Coming onto bat with the Men in Blue still short of the 400 run mark, he launched into Stuart Broad and took him to cleaners plundering 35 runs off one over with the help of three fours and two sixes, earning a distinction of scoring the most runs in one over of a test match surpassing the great Brian Charles Lara of West Indies. While it might come as a surprise to many, Ravindra Jadeja the second centurion of the match after Rishabh Pant however felt that it was not an anomaly as Indian tailenders spend a lot of time batting at the nets.

“Bumrah takes his batting in the nets very seriously. He puts a price on his wicket and he does not have a casual approach when he is batting.” Jadeja said during the press conference at the end of day’s play.
