IND vs SA: Watch - Jasprit Bumrah Enacts Ravichandran Ashwin's Bowling Action As He Looks On
Indian pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah did a spot-on impersonation of off-spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin’s bowling action before the start of play on Day 2 of the Johannesburg Test.
Bumrah is quite the pro at enacting different bowlers’ actions and he put it on display once again, this time at the Wanderers. Just moments before the players walked out onto the field, Bumrah was seen trying Ashwin’s high-arm action on the field.
Watch Jasprit Bumrah’s action here:

The impersonation was so good that even Ashwin had a chuckle while watching. The mood seemed to be quite jovial in the Indian camp despite the position they are in heading into Day 2’s play.
Even Ashwin wouldn't help but chuckle. Hahah, too good #<!---->I<!---->N<!---->D<!---->v<!---->S<!---->A p<!---->i<!---->c<!---->.<!---->t<!---->w<!---->i<!---->t<!---->t<!---->e<!---->r<!---->.<!---->c<!---->o<!---->m<!---->/<!---->f<!---->B<!---->6<!---->b<!---->R<!---->R<!---->M<!---->F<!---->O<!---->k

Earlier on Day 1, South Africa rolled India over for a paltry 202 after stand-in captain, KL Rahul, opted to bat first on a spicy Johannesburg pitch. Marco Jansen took four wickets and was the pick of the bowlers while Kagiso Rabada and the returning Duanne Olivier took three wickets each.
In response, the hosts were off to a poor start as Aiden Markram was dismissed for the third time this series by Mohammed Shami. After a barrage of unplayable deliveries and snorters, Dean Elgar and Keegan Petersen walked away unharmed and put South Africa in control.
