Watch: Jasprit Bumrah bamboozles Ben Stokes with 'bat-dropping' delivery; England skipper's reaction goes viral

Jasprit Bumrah is breathing fire in the ongoing second Test against England at Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Vishakhapatnam. The Indian speedster has already taken five wickets in the match and has bowled a spectacular spell against England surprisingly with the old ball making the ball to reverse swing. England was eight down on 229 as Jasprit Bumrah took Ben Stokes for the second time in the series.

Ben Stokes was looking set and was on 47 when Jasprit Bumrah bowled a sneaky off-cutter that caught the inside edge of Stokes’ defence and crashed on top of the off-stump. Ben Stokes was seen dropping his bat in disappointment and raised his arms which looked like he was asking how to play such a delivery. Jasprit Bumrah bowled brilliantly against England in the first innings. With the reverse swing to Joe Root and the block hole yorker to Ollie Pope, he has bowled a magnificent spell.

Jasprit Bumrah took Ben Stokes in the first innings of the first Test in Hyderabad where the England skipper was again bowled after scoring a fighting 70 against India in Hyderabad. Now in the second Test, Jasprit Bumrah has again got his man, the England skipper Ben Stokes who had no idea how to tackle this delivery from the Indian speedster. Before getting Stokes, Bumrah also got Joe Root, Ollie Pope and Jonny Bairstow.

Ben Stokes looked clueless in front of Jasprit Bumrah who bowled a sneaky off-cutter to deceive the England skipper and get his wicket. Ben Stokes scored 47 off 54 deliveries which included five fours and a six in his innings. England bundled for 253 in the first innings while trailing India’s total of 396 in the match and now the Indian team is on front foot.

Jasprit Bumrah has also dismissed Tom Hartley and James Anderson after getting the wicket of Ben Stokes and has now completed his six-fer against England. He has been phenomenal with the ball today and has been the best performer throughout the day. On a batting-friendly pitch, Jasprit Bumrah has shown his calibre and why he is rated so highly in all formats. He has the ability to bowl in any conditions and get wickets for his team.

England is all out for 253 in their first innings and now India has a lead of 143 runs in the Test match and is in a healthy position to win the match. India is currently behind in the series as England won the first Test in Hyderabad defeating the hosts by 28 runs. India has not lost a Test series at home since 2012 and has won 16 consecutive Test series at home since 2012. The last team to beat India in India was England who defeated the hosts 2-1 in 2012 under Alastair Cook.
