Watch: Jasprit Bumrah bamboozles Taijul Islam with a beauty in 2nd Test

India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah knocked over the stumps of Taijul Islam with a magnificent delivery during the first innings of the second Test between India and Bangladesh at Green Park, Kanpur.

Bumrah was at his brutal best in the post-lunch session on Day 4. During the 72nd over of the match, the 30-year-old bowled a length ball outside off stump from around the wicket to the left-hander Taijul.

The ball just seamed back in after pitching and went past the inside edge to knock over the off stump. It was a brilliant delivery from the ace Indian fast bowler who beat the batter with pace. Taijul's feet were stuck to the crease and Bumrah's pace did the trick here.

The ball was bowled at 139.2 kph and Taijul had no clue how to keep that out. Usually, Taijul Islam has a reputation of being a stubborn batter who has a very good defence.

He has previously been used as a night watchman as well for his ability to occupy the crease. However, a small mistake of not playing with his front foot was enough to allow Bumrah to shatter the stumps.

Jasprit Bumrah completes 50 international wickets in 2024

With this wicket, Jasprit Bumrah completed 50 wickets in international cricket in 2024. He became the first bowler in the year to achieve this tremendous feat.

It has been a magnificent year for Bumrah who is enjoying the time of his life. He started the year with a brilliant bowling performance against England in the Test series earlier this year. On flat batting pitches, he produced exhilarating spells to push England to the backfoot.

Jasprit Bumrah followed it up with an even better show in the T20 World Cup 2024 where he was adjudged the Player of the Tournament for 15 wickets in 8 matches at an average of 8.26 and an economy rate of 4.17.

Currently, he is bowling well in the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh. He picked up 5 wickets in the first Test at Chennai and picked up 3 wickets in the first innings of the Kanpur Test.

Superb comeback from Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah went wicketless on the first day of the match but returned to his best on Day 4. He picked up the first wicket of the day by dismissing Mushfiqur Rahim with a ball that seamed back in.

Afterwards, he got the wicket of Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who has often troubled India in the past. Bumrah landed the ball on off stump and it seamed away just to catch the outside edge straight to Shubman Gill at first slip.

His last wicket was of Taijul Islam. Jasprit Bumrah finished with figures of 3-50 in 18 overs. Meanwhile, Bangladesh were bowled out for 233 in their first innings in the second session on Day 4. India have got off to a flyer as they aim to produce a result in the next two days.
