Bumrah becomes part of this bad list along with Rishabh Pant
The Visakhapatnam Test match has been very special for Jasprit Bumrah so far with the ball. Bumrah’s brilliant bowling was seen in the first innings of the England team in which he took 6 wickets and also completed his 150 wickets in his Test career. When Bumrah came on the field to bat in the second innings of Team India, everyone expected him to score some runs, but after facing 26 balls, Bumrah became the victim of Tom Hartley without opening the account. With this, Bumrah has become the fifth player to be out for a duck after facing the most number of balls for India in Test cricket. The name of Irfan Pathan is at the first place in this list, who was out on a duck after facing 29 balls in the Test match played against Pakistan in 2005.
