Shamarh Brooks and Roston Chase were plumbed in front of the wickets whereas Darren Bravo was caught behind by KL Rahul. It was a brilliant spell of bowling from Jasprit Bumrah as he breathed down the neck of the hosts’ batsmen.

Bumrah was at his best.

In fact, the West Indies’ batsmen had no answers to the difficult questions which were asked by the talismanic pacer. Bumrah was able to hit the right areas and thus he was rewarded for his immaculate line and length.

This was Bumrah’s fifth five-wicket haul and he is only playing his 12th Test match. Thus, the right-arm pacer has taken massive strides. Furthermore, he was able to complete his five-wicket haul in 35 deliveries.

The off-spinner had got a crucial hat-trick in the famous Kolkata Test match against Australia. Meanwhile, Irfan Pathan was able to take his hat-trick in the Karachi Test match in 2006 against arch-rivals Pakistan.

Irfan Pathan took to his Twitter handle to welcome Jasprit Bumrah in the elite list. The post read as, “Welcome to the #Hattrick club @Jaspritbumrah93”.
