Watch: Jasprit Bumrah Bowls A Cracking Inswinger To Dismiss Finn Allen

It seems like Jasprit Bumrah is back to his form in the ongoing three-day practice game at Hamilton. The flamboyant cricketer caught the attention of the fans and the experts with his brilliant inswinger to get rid of Finn Allen on Day 2 of the warm-up fixture.

It was in the 30th over of the match when Bumrah bowled a beautiful delivery on 5th stump corridor. Meanwhile, Finn Allen, who was in a hurry of chasing it, left it alone. Then came the surprise to the batsman, as the ball jagged back to hit the stumps.

It was one of those deliveries, which a lot of bowlers dream to bowl at least once. Before Allen, Bumrah got rid off Will Young when he edged it to the wicket-keeper, Rishabh Pant.

Jasprit Bumrah picked 2/18 in 11 overs:

On day one, New Zealand fast bowler Scott Kuggeleijn made life difficult for the visitors removing opener Prithvi Shaw for a four-ball-duck in the first over itself. Shaw’s opening partner Mayank Agarwal (1) was the next to fall while Shubman Gill also fell for a golden duck to leave the Indians in deep trouble at 5/3.

However, the ever-reliant Cheteshwar Pujara in combination with Hanuma Vihari got out India from a precarious situation. Pujara and Vihari combined for a 195-run stand to put the tourists on the road to safety.

Bumrah’s form was a concern for the Indian side ahead of the two-match Test series as the pace spearhead went wicketless in the recently-concluded ODI series where the visitors were whitewashed 3-0 by New Zealand.

However, Bumrah got back to wicket-taking ways as soon as he began the proceeding with the new red ball on Saturday.

After being bowled out for 263 on day one of the practice match, Indian bowlers curtailed New Zealand XI with an exhibition of high-quality fast bowling.

New Zealand were bowled out for 235 in 74.2 overs but Bumrah (2/18 in 11 overs) and Shami (3/17 in 10 overs) used the conditions well alongside Umesh Yadav and Navdeep Saini.
