Jasprit Bumrah follows Virat Kohli’s bail trick with two quick wickets on Day 2
Virat Kohli received a lot of attention on the second day of the current Test series opener for his Stuart Borad-style bail trick. He was spotted changing the bails on the stumps.
The trick provided some relief for pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who had been wicketless up to that moment. In the 29th over, the speedster removed Tony de Zorzia for 28.
Tony de Zorzia and Dean Elgar’s 93-run partnership came to an end when Bumrah caught the outside edge of the southpaw’s pitch. Yashashvi Jaiswal finished the formalities when the ball moved approaching the third slip.
Bumrah scored another hit in the 31st over, causing Keegan Petersen to fall back. Petersen managed a mere two runs before exiting. His leave was due to a solid inside edge that knocked right into the stumps.
