Despite early setbacks during the morning session of Day 2 in the third Test between India and England, a resilient 77-run partnership for the eighth wicket between Ravichandran Ashwin and Dhruv Jurel propelled India beyond the 400-run mark.
Following Ashwin’s departure, Jasprit Bumrah took charge and showcased his own aggressive batting style, dominating the spinners.
In the second delivery of the 127th over, Tom Hartley pitched a tempting delivery outside the off stump. Bumrah anticipated the length well, leaning forward to connect with a powerful swing, sending the ball sailing over the ropes wide of the long-on region.
Continuing his impressive display, Bumrah exhibited his refined batting skills in the subsequent over. With a lofted stroke, he cleared mid-on off Rehan Ahmed’s delivery, showcasing his improved technique.
