India National Cricket Team pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been breathing fire with the ball in the ongoing second Test against the Australia National Cricket Team. Day 1 of the game between the two teams is taking place at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide.
Jasprit Bumrah has yet again provided the India National Cricket Team with a solid start with the ball. After the visitors got all out for just 180 runs, the premier pacer tested the Australia National Cricket Team openers with impeccable lines and lengths and kept challenging them.
Jasprit Bumrah takes wicket of Usman Khawaja to provide his team with breakthrough
Jasprit Bumrah was credited for his disciplined bowling as he removed Usman Khawaja to provide his team with the opening wicket. However, after that, he was right into the head of Marnus Labuschagne as the two got engaged in an enthralling battle.
It all started with Virat Kohli sledging Marnus Labuschagne as the batter walked out to bat. However, after that, it was Jasprit Bumrah who tested the Australia National Cricket Team batter and even had a heated exchange quite a few times during his over.
On the 3rd ball of the 13th over, Jasprit Bumrah bowled a short of a length delivery on the middle, to which Marnus Labuschagne took the bottom-hand off as he defended it back. Immediately after that, he yelled, "Wait on", as the ball rolled back to Bumrah, who picked it up and threatened to shy back.
After that, both Jasprit Bumrah and Marnus Labuschagne passed on a stare as a batter mouthed "come on" at the fast bowler as if he was goading him to throw. The things between the two continued even after that on the next ball when the speedster beat the batter. After the end of the over Kohli again sledged the batter.

Jasprit Bumrah bowled his heart out on Day 1 of the ongoing Test against Australia in Adelaide
Jasprit Bumrah bowled his heart out on Day 1 of the ongoing Test but didn't find much success. He removed Usman Khawaja early on, but after that, luck didn't go his way. He beat batters but couldn't take wickets and put his team at the top.
Australia National Cricket Team batters Nathan McSweeney and Marnus Labuschagne made sure that they put their team in the driver's seat. The duo brought the team back into the game after they lost Usman Khawaja early and made sure the hosts didn't lose any more wickets.
While Nathan McSweeney ended the Day 1 unbeaten at 38 runs off 97 balls, Labuschagne ended with 20 runs off 67 balls. At stumps, the Australia National Cricket Team finished with a total of 86/1 and is still 94 runs behind the Indian total. The pacer would be keen to make a strong comeback on Day 2 and help his team get back into the match.
