New Delhi: India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who has been garnering praise ever since his exploits in the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2024, specially in the all-important final clash, boasts many such instances in his kitty. His breathtaking spells are a thing to cherish forever as he provides a visual treat to cricket fans all over the world with his deadly yorkers and searing pace which send the timber cartwheeling.
Something similar happened exactly two years back (12th July 2022) when India were touring England and took on the hosts in the first ODI that was held at the Kennington Oval in London. Having wrapped up the T20I series with a 2-1 win, India looked on to start the ODIs with a bang and Bumrah indeed weighed in on it with a magical spell that turned out to be his ODI career-best to date.
Bumrah returned figures of 6/19 in a spell that lasted 7.2 overs, recording a fantastic economy of 2.6 as he dismantled the English batting lineup with his ferocious pace. He bowled out Jason Roy, Liam Livingstone, David Willey, and Brydon Carse and removed Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root with the help of Rishabh Pant at the back. No English batter could cross the 30-run mark that was scored by the skipper Jos Buttler followed by Willey’s 21.

As India opted to field first, Bumrah was supported by Mohammed Shami who bagged three wickets and Prasidh Krishna scalped one as England could manage 110 (all out) in 25.2 overs.
India’s chase, series win
Coming to chase the below-par target, it was a cakewalk for both the Indian openers Rohit Sharma (76* off 58) and Shikhar Dhawan (31* off 54) who got the target underneath in just 18.4 overs without losing any wickets. India posted 114/0 as both batters registered a huge partnership for the opening wicket. India went on to win the ODI series as well, going down in the second ODI but rising up in the series decider to make it 2-1 as well and go back home on a high.
Jasprit Bumrah delivered his career-best spell in the ODIs exactly two years back as he decimated the English batting line-up with pure masterclass in a mere 44-ball spell. Cricket Sports News: Latest Cricket News, Cricket Live Score, Sports Breaking News from Sports Today
