India’s deadly fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah once again showed his sharp bowling at the Newlands Stadium in Cape Town on the second day of the third and deciding match of the 3-match Test series against South Africa. He gave South Africa a second blow in the first innings batting by dismissing Aiden Markram on the second ball of the first over of the second day.
This time again the batsman could not understand the deception of Jasprit Bumrah’s sharp fast ball and was speechless. The wicket was uprooted. Markram guessed that Bumrah’s ball would go over the stumps and did not play it. Picked up his bat and let the ball go. Just here Aidan Markram got cheated. Bumrah’s elusive ball went straight and hit the stumps and the bails were scattered. Aiden Markram is clean bowled.
It is noteworthy that on the first day of the last match of the series being played at Cape Town ground, in the last session of Tuesday, January 11, Jasprit Bumrah also attacked South African captain Dean Elgar with his sharp sharpness. He was sent to the pavilion by catching the ball at slip. Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling is the biggest threat to the batsmen of South Africa team.
