New Delhi: Social media erupted in joy on Friday after Indian stand-in skipper and pace spreadhead Jasprit Bumrah displayed a spectacle at the Perth stadium. On the first day of the first Test match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia, Bumrah led a terrific comeback for the visitors post a poor show by the batters in the first innings.
After India were bundled out for just 150 runs, Bumrah came charging on the track claiming four crucial wickets to put Team India in the driver’s seat on Day 1. In his spell of 10 overs, the ace Indian pacer gave away just 17 runs and also bowled 3 maidens to rattle the Aussie batters, giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Fans salute ‘GOAT’ Bumrah
As soon as the first day’s play ended, social media flooded with with love and praise for the Indian pacer, hailing him as the greatest of this generation. There were memes, stats and videos of his terrific spell with people lauding him for his tremendous pace and unplayable deliveries that pushed the Aussies against the wall.
Here are some of the reactions
