Jasprit Bumrah Castles Taskin Ahmed

India National Cricket Team fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has yet again oozed his class with the ball for the team in Tests. The speedster has set the stage on fire in the ongoing first Test against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team, which is underway at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Jasprit Bumrah, who is playing his first game after the T20 World Cup 2024, started from where he left off as he has made a mockery of the opposition with his stellar performance. The fast bowler picked four wickets in a flash for his team and has put his team at the top of the game

Of all the wickets that he took, the scalp of Taskin Ahmed made many stand and applaud him. This was because the Bangladesh National Cricket Team pacer attempted a wild slog against him that went for a boundary and that was something that didn't go well with the India National Cricket Team pacer Jasprit Bumrah.

Jasprit Bumrah didn't go easy on Taskin Ahmed after that as he then delivered a barrage of short balls that hit the pacer on the head and body. He set the batter pretty well before he delivered a pinpoint yorker to castle his stumps and take his 4th wicket of the innings.

Jasprit Bumrah aimed at the middle stump as Taskin Ahmed, who was expecting another short ball, was standing on the leg stump with a leg-side stance. The batter tried to play the drive, but the ball sneaked through, only to see his stumps getting shattered.

Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the bowlers for his team in the first innings. The fast bowler wreaked havoc across Bangladesh's batting lineup. He drew the first blood for his team when he removed Shadman Islam in the first over that he bowled.

After that, he didn't look back as he picked wickets in a flash and ended up taking a four-wicket haul. He returned with the figures of 4/50 in the 11 overs that he bowled and also bowled one maiden over in his spell.

Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Siraj picked two each as India bundled out Bangladesh for 149 runs. The hosts took a healthy lead of 227 runs and decided to bat again and give rest to their bowlers ahead of the Test season.

After his four-wicket haul, Jasprit Bumrah completed 400 wickets in international cricket. He became the 5th pacer from India to achieve the feat. WIth the way he is going, there are very high chances that he can go at the top of the list.

Indian pacers to take 400 international wickets before Bumrah are:

• Kapil Dev: 687 wickets

• Zaheer Khan: 597 wickets

• Javagal Srinath: 551 wickets

• Mohammed Shami: 448 wickets

• Ishant Sharma: 434 wickets

Jasprit Bumrah: 400 wickets
