IND vs ENG: Watch - Jasprit Bumrah Cleans Up Dawid Malan, Joe Root On Consecutive Deliveries

India National Cricket Team premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah provided his side with the first couple of breakthroughs by dismissing the star England National Cricket Team batsmen Dawid Malan and Joe Root.

The Rohit Sharma-led India National Cricket Team are taking on Jos Buttler-led England National Cricket Team in the 29th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday, October 29.

The Three Lions were off to a decent start in the match as the openers played confident cricket against the strong Indian bowling unit and added 30 runs for the opening wicket.

Jasprit Bumrah provided India with the first breakthrough as he cleaned up Malan on the 5th ball of the 5th over. He bowled a length ball around off-stump and the batter inside edged the delivery onto the stumps.

Bumrah was not done yet as on the next delivery he sent back the premier England batsman Joe Root. Bumrah trapped Root plumb and dismissed him for a golden duck.

Earlier, England won the toss and opted to bowl first in the match. Also, both the teams entered the clash with no changes in their playing XI.

Batting first, Rohit Sharma once again provided India with a flying start with his attacking brand of cricket. After the dismissal of Shubman Gill for a low score, Virat Kohli joined Rohit Sharma in the middle and there were high expectations from the batting greats. However, Kohli looked scratchy and was eventually cleaned up for a 9-ball duck.

Soon Shreyas Iyer also fell for 4 to a short ball, but KL Rahul provided much-needed support to his skipper. Together they batted brilliantly and built a great 91-run partnership in 111 balls.

In the end, Suryakumar Yadav played an amazing 49-run knock off 47 balls, with 4 fours, and Jasprit Bumrah supported him well with his 16-run knock to power India to a good total of 229/9.
