Jasprit Bumrah

After Ravindra Jadeja brought up his first overseas Test century, Bumrah had a whirlwind time with the bat, smashing an unbeaten 31 off 16 balls, a majority of which came from a record 35-run over off Stuart Broad. With the ball, Bumrah ran through the top order, including taking a wicket twice on extra deliveries after no-balls and was backed by Mohammed Siraj as well as Mohammed Shami picking a wicket each in the truncated final session to put India on top.

Sanjana Ganesan, the ICC Review presenter and Bumrah's wife, revealed that the pacer was excited and proud after being named captain, but not to the same degree as his mother Daljit. "She's very excited. She's always liked to see him do well because he loves the sport and she's literally seen the entire journey he's gone through to get to where he is. She was ecstatic when she found out," the ICC quoted Sanjana as saying.

Jasprit Bumrah denied Delhi a good start and then came back to claim the crucial wicket of Rovman Powell to help Mumbai restrict them to a modest total after they were asked to bat first. Delhi Capitals were in a must-win situation as far as the playoffs were concerned. To achieve that target, Delhi Capitals needed to make a good start in their game against Mumbai at the Wankhede Stadium.

Bumrah on Monday reminded everyone just how good he is at the IPL, though his performance has come a bit late in the day as Mumbai Indians are out of contention for the this year's title. The pace bowler had superb figures of 5/10 from four overs for Mumbai Indians during their loss to KKR and the right-armer now has 10 wickets for the tournament.

Bumrah's riveting spell of 5/10, which included three wickets in an over and 18 dot balls, went in vain as Kolkata kept their slim hopes of making the IPL 2022 playoffs alive. For Mumbai, barring Ishan Kishan's 51, none of the other batters in a line-up minus an injured Suryakumar Yadav could get the big runs.

In reply, Mumbai were never in the reckoning to chase 166, crashing to 113 all out in 17.3 overs. Barring Ishan Kishan's 51, none of the Mumbai batters in a line-up minus Suryakumar Yadav could get the big runs as Pat Cummins and Andre Russell shared five wickets between themselves, using the short balls to good effect. The result means that Kolkata now move up to seventh place in the points table.

The Mumbai Indians head coach has also said that he would like to call on West Indian stalwart Chris Gayle if he could choose one star at their prime to join the dream T20 side. Jayawardene told the ICC Review that Afghanistan cricketer Rashid Khan was an ideal spinner who could bat lower down the order. Rashid has so far played 58 T20I and taken 105 wickets at 12.92 runs a piece, with an economy rate of slightly above six.

India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who bagged eight wickets, including his maiden Test five-wicket haul at home in the second India versus Sri Lanka Test at Bengaluru, has jumped six spots to attain fourth ranking in the latest ICC Test Rankings for bowlers released on Wednesday. Australia Test skipper Pat Cummins, India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and South African pace bowler Kagiso Rabada have retained the top three spots.

Stylish batter Shreyas Iyer, who played a brilliant innings (92) and put India in a commanding position against Sri Lanka on the opening day of the Pink ball Test, on Saturday said that he is disappointed on missing his century but don't have any regrets as his knock eventually helped the team. After winning the toss and opting to bat first, India were struggling at 126-5 but Iyer played a counter-attacking knock and propelled the hosts to 252 in their first innings.

Indian vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah on Friday said that leg-spinner Kuldeep Yadav hasn't been dropped from the Test squad and instead given a break from the bio-bubble to spend some quality time with his family before playing the two-month long IPL 2022.
