Jasprit Bumrah and Rohit Sharma
Jasprit Bumrah 5 wicket haul : Amazing excitement is being seen in the Cape Town Test being played between India and South Africa. There is also a test of thrill. So many records were made on the first day of the competition that one gets tired of counting them. After understanding those records, when the second day’s play started, new records started being made one after the other. While Mohammad Siraj stole all the limelight of the first day, the diamond of the second day was Jasprit Bumrah. By taking a wicket in the very first over of the second day, he showed that the pitch had not changed on the second day as well.
Jasprit Bumrah took 5 wickets in the innings for the third time in South Africa
On the first day of the match, when the South African team came to bat in the second innings, Jasprit Bumrah took one wicket. Even after this, he maintained the same edge and took four wickets one after the other. Due to this the South African team got into trouble. Talking about Jasprit Bumrah’s career, he has taken 5 wicket haul for the third time in South Africa. Jasprit Bumrah has played 8 test matches in South Africa so far and has taken more than 50 wickets in his name. He has taken 5 wicket hauls a total of 9 times in his career. In this, he has achieved this feat twice in England, South Africa and West Indies.
First Siraj’s 6 wickets, then Bumrah’s havoc
It is rarely seen that two bowlers of the same team take 5 wicket hauls in the same match. While Mohammad Siraj had taken 6 wickets in the first innings of the match, now Jasprit Bumrah has done the same. While on one hand Jasprit Bumrah was wreaking havoc, on the other hand South African opener Aiden Markram was scoring runs continuously at the other end. He came to bat in the evening on the first day itself and completed his half-century on the second day as well. He is the highest run scorer of this match. It was only because of Aiden Markram that the South African team was able to take the lead over the Indian team. Otherwise it is possible that the team would not have been able to score even 98 runs and would have faced defeat by an innings. Within the first half hour of the match itself, it was decided that the match would end on the next day under any circumstances.
Bumrah reached parity with Javagal Srinath
Along with taking five wickets, Jasprit Bumrah has also equaled the tally of former Indian fast bowler Javagal Srinath. While playing Test in South Africa, Javagal Srinath had the highest number of 5 wicket hauls for the Indian team. He did this miracle three times. Now Bumrah has also taken three 5 wicket hauls. Whereas Mohammed Shami, Venkatesh Prasad and S Sreesanth have done this feat twice.
