Sat Sep 21 03:52:30 UTC 2024: ## Bumrah’s “Fire” Delivery Leaves Bangladesh Stunned in First Test
**Chennai, India:** Jasprit Bumrah delivered a searing spell of bowling on Day 2 of the first Test against Bangladesh, leaving the visitors reeling and ultimately securing India a dominant victory.
The day started with a breathtaking display of pace and deception from Bumrah, who bowled Shadman Islam out with a seemingly innocuous delivery. The Bangladesh opener, expecting a swing away from him, was caught completely off guard by the in-swinger and was bowled for a duck. Bumrah finished the day with three wickets, including the crucial dismissal of Mushfiqur Rahim.
Earlier, India had built a commanding lead, thanks to a century from Ravichandran Ashwin and a half-century from Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal, in particular, has been a revelation in this series, becoming the first cricketer ever to score over 750 runs in his first 10 Test innings at home.
The Indian bowlers continued their domination, reducing Bangladesh to 40-5 early in the second session. Akash Deep made an impactful contribution with two wickets in consecutive deliveries just before lunch, while Bumrah’s and Ashwin’s contributions ultimately saw Bangladesh bowled out for 149, well short of India’s first innings total of 376.
Indian fans have reacted with enthusiasm to Bumrah’s performance, calling him “fire” and “GOAT,” while others have commented on the sheer brilliance of his deliveries. The series continues with the second Test, with India holding a 1-0 lead.
