Indian bowlers had to toil hard on the first day of the Chennai Test against England as the visitors finished the day on 263-3. After the day’s play, Jasprit Bumrah talked about how using just sweat isn’t an effective way to shine the ball. He said:
Teams often use saliva on one side of the ball to make it heavier, which in turn helps it in reverse swinging. However, we didn’t see much reverse swing on offer during the day’s play, and Bumrah explained why.
Jasprit Bumrah picked 2 wickets on Day-1
Jasprit Bumrah turned out to be India’s most successful bowler on day 1, picking two of the three England wickets. The right-arm fast bowler trapped Dan Lawrence lbw in the first session for a duck.
After that, the seamer had to be patient throughout the day as the pitch wasn’t offering much. Bowling the final over of the day, Jasprit Bumrah dismissed a well set Dom Sibley for 87 with a well-directed yorker to give Indians some joy at the end of day’s play. Joe Root is still at the crease on 128.
