In the ongoing India vs. England Test, Jasprit Bumrah delivered a sensational reverse-swinging yorker to dismiss Ollie Pope, crashing through his defenses.
In the ongoing 2nd Test between India and England in Vishakhapatnam, Jasprit Bumrah displayed his bowling brilliance, clinching an important wicket by dismissing the in-form Ollie Pope with a sensational yorker. In the 28th over, Bumrah strategically set up the batter with a well-executed shorter-length ball, followed by a perfect yorker at an impressive 142 clicks on the middle stump.
Caught off guard, Pope had no chance to defend, and the stumps were sent flying. This marked India’s third wicket of the session, orchestrating a remarkable turnaround as England’s innings stumbled from 114/1 to 136/4. Pope departed after contributing 23 runs in 55 balls.

On the match front, after India’s total of 396 runs in the first innings, England’s opening pair, Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett initiated a strong beginning for the visitors. Duckett and Crawley crafted a solid 59-run partnership. This opening stand came to an end with Duckett’s dismissal by Kuldeep Yadav.
Crawley continued his stellar performance, swiftly surpassing a half-century, but eventually succumbed to Axar Patel’s spin in the latter’s first over, with 76 runs. The momentum continued to favor India as Joe Root fell victim to Jasprit Bumrah three overs later.
In the first innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s phenomenal innings of 209 runs from 290 balls stood out in India’s total of 396 on a docile pitch. Lacking substantial support, Shubman Gill’s 34 was the second-highest score.
Jaiswal, now the youngest Indian to reach this milestone in Test cricket alongside Vinod Kambli and Sunil Gavaskar, played a colossal innings that nearly propelled India to the 400-run mark.
