In the first innings at Headingley, Jasprit Bumrah's scorching spell of fast bowling earned him a well-deserved five-wicket haul, which was commended by none other than Sachin Tendulkar himself. Despite a string of annoying setbacks, the Indian legend quickly took to social media to highlight just how outstanding Bumrah had been in ending England's innings.

"Bravo, Bumrah! In a nutshell, Tendulkar wrote of a lone warrior at the height of his abilities, with three missed opportunities and a no-ball separating you from nine wickets..

The sheer statistics—5/83 in 24.4 overs—don't adequately reflect the significance of Bumrah's contribution. He was by far the greatest bowler on either side of this Test, whether in terms of skill or effect. Bumrah maintained the line on a surface that provided little assistance. He got rid of Zak Crawley early, sent the threat Joe Root back to the pavilion, came back late to mop up Josh Tongue, and did all of this while fighting against both the conditions and his own teammates' errors.

As a matter of fact, the sole thing that stood between Bumrah and a haul for the ages was luck, or the absence of it. At the conclusion of Day 2, he got Harry Brook out on a no-ball. He then saw Ravindra Jadeja, who is typically a trustworthy fielder, drop a catch off his bowling before Yashasvi Jaiswal missed two more.

Bumrah's bowling was responsible for all three reprieves, which all resulted in India losing runs and control. Nonetheless, despite everything, Bumrah remained composed, focused, and deadly.

Bumrah struck the decisive blows when India needed to end the England innings after the other bowlers gave up runs. He secured his 14th five-wicket haul in Test cricket and gave India a slim six-run first-innings advantage by castling Chris Woakes and Josh Tongue.

A record amount

His teammates surrounded him in joy as he raised his head to the sky in silent relief. Bumrah tied the legendary Kapil Dev with his 12th five-wicket haul in away Tests with this performance. India will now be hoping to deliver another strong batting display to put England under pressure in the chase.
