Watch: Beh*****d!! Jasprit Bumrah abuses West Indies cricketer after boundary in Ahmedabad Test

Team India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, known for his calm demeanor, lost his temper on Day 1 of the first Test against the West Indies. Bumrah was heard using a swear word while bowling during the West Indies’ first innings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday, October 2.

The Caribbean side managed to score only 162 runs, with Mohammed Siraj taking four wickets. Jasprit Bumrah picked up wickets on the opening day.

Siraj set the tone early with his breakthroughs, while Bumrah took one wicket up early before returning later to dismantle the tail. Bumrah castled Justin Greaves with a searing delivery that uprooted the off-stump in the 39th over. Greaves had managed 32 before being dismissed.
